Salisbury Medieval Tent for Diamond Jubilee
The Wiltshire Council website says that
For Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee Salisbury residents will be able to explore the fascinating history of their city – all under the roof of a medieval tent.
The Salisbury Area Board will be celebrating the city under the roof of a jousting tent to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee event at the Cathedral Close in early May.
If you want to be involved.
Anyone wanting to contribute ideas to the Salisbury medieval tent project and/or attend meetings of the working group should contact Marianna Dodd on 01722 434696 or email marianna.dodd@wiltshire.gov.uk
Update: According to Jane Scott’s post the theme for the event will be the Magna Carta and Democrary.
