Sir Gawain & The Green Knight Live Reenactment at 11:15am and 2.15pm

The world famous medieval poem, Sir Gawain and The Green Knight has an anonymous author. The poem was written locally, probably by a monk and features many of Leek & The Staffordshire Moorlands geographic features and local dialect.

The story culminates in Lud’s Church aka The Green Chapel.

Whilst we don’t be visiting Lud’s Church we will have a live telling of the story complete with our famous giant characters of Sir Gawain and the fearsome Green Knight in Leek town centre, a few miles from Lud’s Church.
