Particularly suited for group meetings and special events, Lumina combine music from the Medieval and Tudor periods with a talk about the instruments and music origins. Lively dance tunes of the Royal Court sit alongside amusing Tavern songs and haunting romantic ballads. Performed in costume for a unique and delightful presentation.

Sun Jester is a family business that offer a range of informal talks and entertainments for groups of all interests including after dinner entertainments. With a usual duration of 45–60 minutes, they can be adapted to suit requirements.

We have been working in the field of Heritage Education for over 25 years.
