A re-enactment of the fight between two feuding families in 1492 which led to the expression "to chance one's arm" using costumed re-enacters. NOTE: Re-enactments take place at 12.00 and 15.00, but there will be an opportunity to meet the costumed soldiers and handle objects all day. Meet a 15th Century soldier!
