Anno Domini 2026
Lee

In the twenty-third year of our noble union, let it be known throughout the land that my dear husband and I have successfully survived countless adventures, unexpected challenges, family quests, and more than a few spirited debates over matters of great importance, such as what to have for supper and whose memory of events is actually correct.

Through sunshine and storms, triumphs and trials, we have travelled side by side. We have shared laughter, made memories, supported one another, and occasionally tested each other's patience in ways worthy of a place in the kingdom's history books.

Despite the passing of twenty-three years, you remain my favourite companion on this journey. My partner in every adventure, my voice of reason (whether I ask for it or not), and the one person I would choose again and again.

The royal chroniclers therefore record that while neither of us is perfect, together we have built a life filled with love, laughter, loyalty, and more happiness than any treasure chest could hold.

So today I raise a goblet in your honour and give thanks for twenty-three wonderful years. Here's to many more adventures, much laughter, and continuing to grow old together.

Happy Anniversary, my love. Long may our story continue. ❤️🏰⚔️👑

Set-up day is upon us.

By the cursed hour of 5am, the final pells were at last completed, stoutly bound and destined to suffer three days of glorious battering by aspiring swordsmen.

Now begins the next noble crusade: to load the wagon, journey unto the castle, and raise our encampment before festival commences.

Whilst lesser folk lie abed, i have battle rope, timber, and exhaustion itself in service to medieval splendour.

NEARLY READY… THE LEMON HOLDETH FAST 🍋🏰

Hear ye! After much hammering, muttering, and the ancient art of that’ll do”. The Lemon (the tent of doom) standeth.

She be not straight.
She be not fair.
But by all the saints… she standeth.

Arrows are fletched, targets made, pells await their punishment.
We are near ready for a most glorious weekend!

📍Herstmonceux Castle
📅 2nd, 3rd & 4th May
⏰ 10am – 5pm

⚔️ Great battles & living history
🏹 Try thy hand at archery, axe throwing & knight training

Hear ye, hear ye! 📯

A further update on The Lemon of Legend 🍋⚔️

After much hammering, tightening, muttering, and several telephone calls to Lucy Horrocks for guidance (and possibly moral support).

👉 She stands.

Not perfectly.
Not convincingly.
But one step closer to greatness (or at least not falling over immediately).

There is still work to be done upon this rebellious pavilion
she yet fights us at every turn
But progress hath been made!
And soon, she shall take her place at Herstmonceux Castle🏰
👉 wonky
👉 stubborn
👉 and improving slowly

Stay tuned, good people… the battle between human and canvas is far from over.

Hear ye! Hear ye! 📯

Let it be known across the land.
Never doth one purchase a medieval pavilion without first casting thine own eyes upon it!

For we, in our boundless optimism (and slight foolishness), have acquired…
👉 a most questionable structure
👉 a tent that hath clearly survived many winters… and lost most of them
👉 in short, an absolute lemon of the realm 🍋⚔️

Yet fear not, good people!
The Queen’s company shall not be defeated by a grumpy canvas and a few rebellious poles!

We shall patch, mend, tighten, and possibly threaten it with a sword and by the weekend, it shall stand (or at least lean convincingly) as part of our noble encampment 🏕️

Stay tuned for tales of repair, resilience, and mild swearing behind the scenes…

⚔️ Hear Ye, Hear Ye! A Most Peaceful Sunday Lies Ahead… ⚔️

This fine day hath been declared one of rest and relaxation…
(or so we keep telling ourselves).

Plans for the day include:
🏹 Preparing arrows for battles yet to come
🛠️ Showing some much-needed TLC to our new (to us) pavilion…
a noble structure, though currently held together by hope and determination
🧹 Restoring order to the kingdom after recent chaos

A calm and gentle Sunday, surely.

…until one task turns into ten, tools appear from nowhere, and we find ourselves knee-deep in “just one quick job.”

Such is the peaceful Sunday of The Queens Medieval Experience.

🐉⚔️ Happy St George’s Day, good people of the realm! ⚔️🐉

On this day, brave St George did valiantly slay a rather troublesome dragon (we assume it started it)

Sadly, we’ve checked our fields, hedgerows, and suspicious bushes and can confirm, no dragons available for slaying today 🐉💨

From all of us at The Queens Medieval Experience, we wish thee a day full of fun, laughter, and just a hint of heroic glory!

And should thou wish to train for thy future dragon-slaying career… 👀

📅 Join us at the Heritage Weekend
📍 Herstmonceux Castle
🗓 2nd, 3rd & 4th May 2026

Come test thy skill at:
🏹 Archery
🪓 Axe Throwing
⚔️ Knight Training

Sharpen thy aim… for one day, a dragon may return

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! 🏰

The season is well underway! We’ve loosed arrows and fired crossbows at a noble 30th birthday, journeyed to the fine Bentley Miniature Railway and caused just the right amount of chaos at the South of England Spring Show!

And now we ride onward to the mighty Herstmonceux Castle
for the Heritage Weekend (2nd–4th May)! ⚔️

We bring with us Archery, Crossbows, Knightly Training, and Axe Throwing ready to turn thy peaceful villagers into warriors of legend… or at least enthusiastic near-misers 🤭🏹🪓

Time to polish the armour, shake out the flags,
and prepare for a weekend of medieval mayhem!

Come find us… if thou art brave enough ⚔️🏰

Hear ye, hear ye! 🏹🪓

On the morrow of the weekend past, at the grand South of England Spring Show, our youngest, being but 18 months of age, did venture forth to try their hand at the noble arts of archery and axe throwing.

Armed with soft arrows and gentle axes, and under the guidance of our fine medieval-clad instructors, the young one didst loose their first “shots” with much curiosity and merriment. Though their aim be yet untested, their enthusiasm was bold and their spirit most eager!

’Twas a joyous sight to behold, a tiny warrior in the making, taking their first steps upon a path of skill, focus, and fun.

Who knows what tales shall one day be told of this young archer and axe thrower?

We are thrilled to have the The Queens Medieval Experiences joining us at the show. Fancy trying a spot of archery, or catapults, or a spot of Knight training to go into in a battle? and in their own missive to us....... "Just to confirm — we are absolutely NOT cancelling for rain or wind.
If the sky opens and we are pummelled with sideways rain, we shall endure like soggy warhorses. If the wind tries to carry us off, we lean into it like aerodynamic teabags and soldier on.
We are here. We are damp. We are unstoppable." You will find them in the medieval area of the show, we can't wait" https://www.queensarchers.co.uk/index.html
