Sit at Our Fireside

Colin Brooks: Your Medieval Host by The Forest Archer

For over 30 years, Colin has been a wizard in the re-enactment world, weaving tales of catapult castles and medieval splendor. Now, as the maestro behind ‘The Forest Archer,’ he’s not just selling artifacts; he’s crafting an immersive experience. The warmth of Fireside Events finds its roots in Colin’s passion for creating holistic gatherings. His events aren’t just for participants; they’re for everyone — staff, volunteers, and visitors alike — to bask in the joy of sitting around the figurative campfire.
