Medieval Experiences 

If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into the world of medieval Britain — full of knights, castles, and legendary tales — now’s your chance. Our collection of medieval experiences is perfect for anyone who’s ever been fascinated by kings and queens, epic battles, or the skill and craft of centuries past. Whether you’re planning a unique day out or looking for gifts for history lovers, these experiences turn the past into something you can actually live.

Kingdoms and Castles

There’s something truly magical about wandering through medieval castles — the creaking drawbridges, towering stone walls, and secret passageways that whisper stories of the past. From the movie-famous Alnwick Castle to royal Windsor Castle and the picturesque Leeds Castle, you’ll explore some of the best castles in England, Scotland and Wales. Perfect for families, couples or curious minds, these experiences are a real treat for anyone who loves kingdoms and castles, rich history, or just a good old wander around somewhere incredible.

Blacksmith Experiences

In a time when supermarkets and screwdrivers didn’t exist, the medieval blacksmith was the go-to for everything from armour and horseshoes to cooking pots and the fearsome medieval sword. Today, you can try this ancient craft for yourself in a hands-on blacksmith experience. Learn how to heat, hammer, and shape metal using traditional tools and techniques that haven’t changed much in centuries. It’s surprisingly therapeutic, incredibly satisfying, and a brilliant way to appreciate the skills that once held whole towns together.

Falconry Experiences

Back in the day, falcons weren’t just for show — they were a serious symbol of power and wealth. In fact, falconry was one of the top pastimes for medieval nobles. Our falconry experiences let you get up close to these majestic birds of prey, learn how they were trained, and even try your hand at handling them. It’s a calm, peaceful kind of magic that offers a rare glimpse into a tradition once found in every great medieval town.

Archery Experience

Whether you're picturing yourself as Robin Hood or just want to see how good your aim really is, an archery experience is a brilliant way to try something new. It’s not just about hitting the target — it’s about learning the skills that once helped win battles. You’ll pick up tips from expert instructors, use traditional-style bows, and walk away with a whole new appreciation for this historic sport. It’s one of those activities that’s easy to enjoy but hard to master — and that’s what makes it so fun.

Jousting Experience

Jousting was the medieval version of going viral — a dramatic, high-energy show of bravery, skill and sheer spectacle. Feel the rush of adrenaline with our jousting experience in historic Warwick like no other. You’ll dress the part in medieval costume, learn to wield a sword, shoot a longbow, and take on the tilt with a lance in hand. No experience needed — just a sense of fun and a love for all things medieval. With a chance to earn your knighthood by the end of the day, it’s a brilliant experience for anyone who's ever dreamed of stepping into the world of knights, castles, and legendary battles.

Axe Throwing Experience

Axe throwing might sound a bit wild — and that’s because it is. But it’s also incredibly fun and oddly satisfying. You don’t need to be a warrior to give it a go, just a bit of focus (and maybe a touch of Viking spirit). Whether you're going head-to-head with friends or just letting off steam, it’s a unique way to get stuck into something historic with a modern twist.

From the clang of the forge to the swoop of a falcon, these experiences offer a real connection to a time when life was lived a little louder and a lot bolder. If you’re on the hunt for history gifts that are a bit different — and a lot more memorable — this is where your journey begins.
