Canterbury’s SIXTH annual Medieval Pageant and Trail will take place on Saturday 16th September 2021!
In collaboration with @CanterburyBID and @my_Canterbury
The #pageant through Canterbury City Centre is about to begin! Entering through the Westage Towers at 11am, it will be hard to miss as it passes through St Peter's Street, Rose Lane and ends at the #Buttermarket.
TODAY IS THE DAY! We are so excited to see our giants, the fabulous costumes and partake in all the activities. We expect to see thousands of you turn up, and perhaps this will be our biggest edition yet! See you in a few hours!

Ever wondered what life would have been like in the middle ages? Look back into the year 1379 with snippets from a day of a master pin maker. See how a coral-headed pin was made, what shoes he wore and the everyday objects he used. Find out more here: https://t.co/jBawUUqYmH
