THE BATTLE
The story has it there once was a Great and Powerful Lord who went off to fight for his King in far off lands. The people who lived on the lord's lands were taxed heavily to fund the lord's adventures. Unhappy with the taxes the people rebelled, overthrowing the lord's men and taking the lands for themselves. This very day the lord returned to find his men killed, his money taken and now he was facing an army of angry peasants. Who will be victorious? Will it be the lord and his knights who overthrow the rebellion? Or will it be the peasants who fight to keep their homes? Come and see how this story unfolds at the Battle For Black Cat!

Back by popular demand we are pleased to be offering a FREE knight school for squires under the age of 16 at 11:30am and then again at 3pm at BCB24. It's free to enter and no need to book, all we ask is our knights in training have a sword, any sword will do. A toy sword, a foam sword, even a stick will do (just nothing sharp). We will teach our squires how to be knights of old and show you how to perform guards, strikes and blocks. If you don't have a sword we will have foam practice swords for sale on the gate as you come in (limited numbers available so buy early to avoid disappointment).
