With hundreds of re-enactors and over 40 authentic traders, artisans and victuallers the fayre is one of the most atmospheric characterful events in the living history calendar. Good food, ale, mead and wines will refresh the visitor and revive battle weary troops while music will stir the soul or soothe the savage breast. Travelling traders will be selling fine fabrics, the best of arms and armour and wonderful artefacts and trinkets fit to grace any household, ancient or modern. Tatton's historic Old Hall and grounds will echo to the flash of cannon and musket, twang of the longbow and the clash of steel on steel as medieval warriors demonstrate their skills in combat and marksman (and woman) ship. Minstrels, mercenaries, men-at-arms, archers, gunners, falconers and a ragtag army of ne'er-do-wells and hangers-on also create interesting times. Despite all the fun of the fayre a jealous neighbour and his army are determined to wrest the Old Hall from its rightful owner. The ensuing Battle of Tatton Field finale on each day promises to be exciting and noisy as rivalry comes into play. Whose side will you cheer for?
