Clear the Range!!!
FIRE!!! 💥

The Trebuchet is coming to Abbey History Festival - firing daily at the close of the event.
Our friends Cottereaux, Company of the Dagger are firing the Bohemoth for our delight, and with only 30% capacity of the Abbey Medieval Festival, you're likely to be able to secure a prime viewing spot to see it!!

Did you know - At 9.1m tall, the "Bohemoth" is reported to be the Largest trebuchet in the Southern Hemisphere. And is a half scale model of the trebuchet at Warwick castle in England. WOAH!

See it for yourself and get tix to the History Festival in 2 weeks time!!!
