That's right. The next time the kids come up to you with a, "Mom, I'm BORED!" you can hand them a blade and say, "Just go outside and fight with your sister!"
It's the Royal Armoury at Leeds at it again, offering a chance for the ankle biters in your life to have at it. With wooden swords, though. Check it out here.
If that is not to your tastes, the older crowd can enjoy a good-old fashioned joust for Easter. "This Easter sees the return of the Sword of Honour four day joust leading up to the grand final on Bank Holiday Monday at 2.30pm. There will be two shows each day at 12.30pm and 2.30pm, bookings for these shows are now being taken by the bookings team."
AND, they've got an exhibition of the Chronicles of Froissart, THE firsthand account of the doings of the Hundred Years War. That would be keen to see. They also offer classes on calligraphy and all sorts of other things. If you find yourself in England in the spring, check it out and send me pictures! For more info, go to their web site.
Coool! Man I wish I had something like this when I was a kid. It would have brought playing dungeons and dragons to a whole new leve.
