Comitatus are at Chillingham Castle, Northumberland this Bank Holiday weekend with cavalry, infantry, artillery,falconry and tented encampment etc etc .

The event is open 10 am - 4pm on the Sunday and Monday, so there will be a cavalry practice late afternoon on Saturday, with infantry drill at 10 am on the Sunday morning. The set timings are:
11.00 am The skills of the Roman Legionaries.
12 noon. The skills of the Roman Cavalry.
2.00 pm The skills of the Roman Legionaries.
3.00 pm The skills of the Roman Cavalry.
This is the first of our big AD 410 events so we will have seven Roman cavalry out in the arena with visitors from the British museum dropping by on the Sunday evening.
This is as far north as we will be taking the horses this year so perhaps RATers from Scotland can say hello. Where are you Byron?
And since it is the first show of the year horses will be running around in all directions with nothing going right :lol: We are expecting 1,000 visitors over the two days, which makes this a relatively small show in terms of visitor numbers, but that should save too many people seing us making fools of ourselves.
I'm looking forward to the quiet moments after the shows in the evening taking the horses up into the hills on the estate.
