During the Summer months some of the historic buildings play host to living history events when stories of the past are recreated by historical societies and costumed interpreters. It's a great way to understand the part played by the castles and to get an insight into the life and activities of people who lived there.

Some of the events are likely to be more sedate, with opportunities to learn about dress from the time of the War of the Roses, to perhaps watch a mummers play or listen to medieval music played in a castle.
