The Medieval Companie Of The Duke`s Leopards
Come and meet the Medieval Companie of the Duke’s Leopards at Mont Orgueil Castle and venture into the 15th century. Meet the ladies, servants and soldiers of the Castle, who will demonstrate period skills including wool-spinning, knitting, weaving and leather work. Enjoy the aroma of the spices and herbs used for cookery and medicine while you hear tales of the bloody Castle siege and watch archery and sword-fighting practice in the Middle Ward.
In fine weather the Duke’s Leopards will be encamped in the Middle Ward, otherwise they will take refuge in the Medieval Great Hall, located in the Castle Keep.

Living History - Wool Spinners Of Hamptonne
WOOL SPINNERS OF HAMPTONNE
Wednesdays and Sundays from May to September

Come on a journey through spinning history and marvel at the ‘Drop Spindle’ in use from the Middle Ages. Listen to the click of the ‘Walking Wheel’ used from the 1300s, the handle-driven and beautifully wood turned Jersey Wheel, through to the whir of the ‘Tradle Wheel’. Watch as the Spinners of Hamptonne skillfully turn wool into yarn, to be used for one of the most important industries in the Channel Islands – the knitting industry. At times you may also meet the Hamptonne Knitter, who will be making garments from the Hamptonne yarn.
