On guard! From giant broad swords to elegant rapiers our in-costume experts have swords and historical armaments on display from all periods of history. You can try some (careful) weapons handling, find out more about swordsmanship and see live sword fighting demonstrations during the afternoon by members of the Silver School of Arms.
Sword fighting demonstrations at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm (weather dependant, if it is raining or too wet the demonstrations will not go ahead).
The historic arms display is in the Nursery on second floor of Gawthorpe Hall, accessed by the main staircase. Due to the historic nature of the building, there is no lift. Demonstrations are outside at the front of the Hall (weather dependant).
Included in admission to the Hall (£7 adults, children FREE)
