There will be medieval merriment in Durham from Thursday 4 to Sunday 7 October 2012 as the Medieval Outdoor Market returns to the Market Place for a four day feast of fun!
On Thursday 4th October, the Mayor will greet the traders at 12pm and the Market will stay open until 8pm, with musical entertainment from Van Mildert College's band 'The Quays' (2pm) and Josephine Butler's college band (early evening).
The market promises tasty traditional fayre including delicious hog roasts, hearty breads, old English meads and ciders and juicy sausages.
Stallholders decked out in medieval costume will be trading high quality
crafts, clothing, fine jewellery and textiles and visitors will be able to enjoy
demonstrations of traditional skills including spinning and pottery.
There also promises to be quite a gathering of characters from this
