With suits of armour aplenty along with a massive banqueting table there is a host of medieval-themed entertainment already planned - including singers, re-enactment, cooking workshops, monk magicians, speed cartoonist, dancers, murder mystery, and musicians.

The staff - more than 25 talented local people have already been recruited - are appropriately are all dressed in medieval costumes. By December there will be similar attire for customers to hire as well.

The team behind this independent initiative are already highly successful.
