Commemorating the 400 year anniversary of the visit to Warwick by King James I, the town attractions have teamed up to produce a series of events to celebrate the occasion over the weekend of 3-5 Nov, 2017.
THE KING JAMES 1 BANQUET, 3 NOV 2017
The event will be a celebratory night in the Great Hall of St James at the Lord Leycester Hospital, with guests encouraged (though not mandatory) to dress in C17th costume or come in Grand modern attire – the Grander the better! At dinner, authentic food of the time will be served including Pease Soup, Roasted game and pig, roasted vegetables, Posset, cheese and fruit. Tables and halls will be lavishly decorated with a cornucopia of flowers, foliage and fruits as was typical at the time. You will be entertained by music of the time! Book tickets now (see below.)
