Chadkirk Chapel is hosting the mediaeval music duet Archaedium. Archaedium specialises in costumed, historical musical performance for heritage events. They will bring a range of instruments, not only playing these but introducing them to the audience. This is a family-friendly event and children will be able to join in. There will be an introduction to the musical instruments at 1:00 pm, a minstrel school at 2:00 pm and at 3:00 pm there will be a mediaeval chill-out session.

The setlist is 3 x 25 minutes. The first one is a 'meet the instruments' set, where the players introduce each instrument to the audience, explain a little about it and its history and then play a Mediaeval tune. The second set is a family-friendly 'Minstrel School' set, where the musicians hand out classroom percussion and teach the children some rhythms to play along with us, everyone sings a song together, learns a dance, and may finish with a parade. The final set is a 'Mediaeval Chillout' set of beautiful music to send everyone home with a smile on their faces. In addition, there will be a meet and greet by the entrance on pipes and drum.

Admission is free, but we expect this to be a busy day so seats in the chapel will be on a first-come, first-served basis. We'll be selling wine, Prosecco, hot and cold drinks, snacks and cakes – cash only. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

The event takes place on 27 May, and runs from 12-4pm.

All funds raised are used for the benefit of Chadkirk Chapel, the walled garden and the country estate.
