Winter the Serf

A servant living through the harshest of times, Winter the Serf is a medieval figure both humble and cunning. As you step into his worn shoes, you'll discover the life of a serf in Mont Orgueil Castle at a time when food was scarce, the cold seeped into every corner and the work seemed endless.
Winter, with his cheeky humour and sly wit, finds a way to survive. The Castle’s vast halls and hidden corners are like a maze. From the shadowy alcoves to the narrow staircases, he knows where to hide when his Master’s men come looking.

He also knows the Castle’s stories – tales of past mischief, hidden treasures and ghostly whispers. He sneaks around the corridors looking for anyone willing to listen to the strange happenings that supposedly occurred within the Castle’s walls. If you meet Winter, be ready to hear a story or two, laugh at the cheeky humour, and discover that even in the coldest, toughest of times, the spirit of joy can survive.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, 10am to 4pm
