Minstrels Gallery are a group of musicians and players specialising in music and entertainment from the Medieval and Elizabethan periods.
They play on a wide range of fascinating instruments including Lute, Crumhorn, Flute, Racket, Shawm, Psaltery, and of course the Nakers - it is a double drum, honest! They not only play music, but also entertain with a combination of comic verse, juggling competitions, tests of strength and all manner of courtly fun.
