After we saw the tapestry we went to the Kings bed chamber and then to the Queens bed chamber. There were people dressed up in costumes there was a chamber maid that told us all about the work that she does. Next we went to the inner hall and the outer hall and Kirstin told us that if you were really important you would get into the outer chamber and if you were extremely important then you would meet the Queen in her bed chamber – but that was only if you were extremely important.
After we had saw the outer and inner hall we went back to the education room and we all got to dress up. All the girls had dresses and head gowns and the boys were either a king or a jester. We also got to have a look at all the weapons that would of been used in Mary Queen of Scots time. There were 2 different types of guns and then there was a bow and arrow there were three types of arrows. The first one was for when you were riding and you would aim for the horses heart and the second one was for shooting people and the third one had a small basket that you put fire in.
We got to try on all the shields and hold the guns and some people got to try on the chain mail but it was so heavy that only some people got to try it on.
Over all we all had a really fun day and I am quite sure that we would all like to go back again .
