Valencia Cavalcade 3rd Oct 2010
In October 2008 we took a major part in helping the city of Valencia recreate a magnificent civic procession that was held in 1428 celebrating the visit and deeds of James I.
Over twelve hundred people in medieval costume took part in the grand cavalcade. Due to our reputation in this field Griffin Historical was asked to fly in nearly eighty riders and ground crew. All were in superb medieval armour and clothing, the highlight being fifteen fully harnessed knights complete with heraldic trappings. Despite the unusually heavy rain which would normally have halted proceedings elsewhere, the participants worked tirelessly to produce a fantastic spectacle which delighted the onlookers.
The 2010 Valencia Cavalcade
This will take place in and around Valencia on the morning of Sunday 3rd Oct and we are extremely pleased to have been asked to make a return visit. Other potential elements being considered for inclusion are a joust, living history camp and market. We are now starting to plan what is sure to be another memorable event and will be updating this page for potential participants when more information is available.
