The Wardour Garrison, a group of re-enactors who enjoy re-creating life as it might have been in England during the seventeenth century, will be taking over The Bishop's Palace and Gardens in Wells on 27th and 28th May this year.

Their encampment will be in residence at the Palace with the aim of giving visitors a flavour of both domestic and military life, through sight, touch, sound and smell.

Visitors will find the Garrison engaged in the crafts and skills of the period along with the activities of daily life within the camp. There will also be a series of lively demonstrations and skirmishes throughout the day!

Come and see what the cooks are cooking, what games the soldiers are playing and explore the many other crafts which will be taking place around the encampment.

The event is included with any standard admission ticket to the Palace.
