SUMMARY:A Knight Away
DESCRIPTION:Follow Sir Kuss and his loyal (if somewhat grumbling) squire on their well deserved time off! \nAfter many a quest\, its finally time for a rather well-earned holiday. It was very kind of The Knightly Order to send him on this permanent vacation. As a paragon of Justice – Sir Kuss feels this is nothing more than a very well deserved reward for his lifelong heroics! \nOf course\, if you were to ask his ever-loyal and forever-burdened squire\, you might hear suggestions that The Knightly Order were actually quite keen to ‘relocate’ him. Bored of his endless stories and nostalgic re-enactments\, and shaking their heads at his somewhat ‘dated’ ideals and understanding of chivalry. It was felt that a bit of a ‘rework’ of the order was… well\, in order. \nWith plate mail\, swim shorts\, holiday games\, sights to see\, and axes to juggle – this bumbling entourage of knightly stupidity are absolutely delighted to meet you! \nPresented by Tit for Tat Circus Theatre. \nFREE EVENT \n11.15-11.45am Ripon Spa Gardens \n1.30-2pm Ripon Market Place (Little Bird Artisan Market)
