Cornet Castle

Just spent a very enjoyable day at Castle Cornet just across the harbour at St. Peter Port in Guernsey. It is a good place to look around anyway with hundreds of years of history layered on top of each other, but for the Easter weekend they were also staging a living history event. This was not like a living history event on the mainland as it was by a troupe of professional actors performing a series of plays to highlight some stories from the islands history. It certainly worked an really helped to engage with the audience. It might be good if the groups that I belong to could get together more regularly so as to be able to rehearse, but since we are entirely volunteers and from all across the UK that is much more difficult.
