The chance to dress as a medieval knight, and meet some of the real knights from the Battle of Tewkesbury attracted around 50 people to Tewkesbury Museum on Saturday.
The half term event was organised by the Companions of the Black Bear, in conjuction with the museum.
As well as dressing up young visitors were able to handle swords, shields and chain mail and colour in shields and pictures.
There was also an opportunity to handle genuine archaeological finds from the period, and find out just how experts can put together a whole picture from a few broken remains of pottery.
Curator Chris Kirby said: "It was a very successful day, and everyone really enjoyed themselves."
