About
Did you know that many of the games we play today can be traced back to the distant past?
Explore the past through play. Discover sports from history and have a go yourself at Pontefract Castle.
Try some of the sports, skills and pastimes that kept medieval people fit, fast and battle‑ready. Discover archery and falconry. There’s also an early form of football and colf (yes colf! It’s the foreunner of golf).
Bring the Middle Ages to life through movement, creativity and role play.
There is a bookable SEND session for this event on Wednesday 19 August, 10am to 10:45am.
