Alfred the Great was King of the West Saxons from 871 to 886, and King of the Anglo-Saxons from 886 until his death in 899. How much did Alfred owe his ‘Greatness’ to ‘lads luck’…
And did he burn his cakes or is that merely a myth? In full costume, Max will attempt to answer this and other important questions, complete with chain mail, helmet, spear, shield, sword and the most fearsome double handed axe

Join us for a tea/coffee and a chat from 1.45 pm
