Throughout the summer holidays young visitors can experience what it was like to grow up and serve in a royal household in medieval times at Knights & Princesses School in Hever Castle in Kent.
Classes include plenty of hands-on activities to keep the kids entertained and are suitable for ages 6-12 (approximately). Children are encouraged to come in costume to really enter the spirit of the event.
Knights in training learn how to prepare and protect armour and discover the best way to arm and disarm their master before battle. Princesses are shown the correct way to give a proper and perfect curtsey.
At the end of each session, children will take part in a sword practice activity before being officiated as knights and princesses of Hever.
