We always aim to make our concerts fun and accessible to a wide audience who may not necessarily have had much experience of live early music. We will try to use most of our 40 different authentic period instruments and provide a running commentary on the music, historical setting and origin of the instruments used.

Minstrels Gallery offer a number of early music concert packages with the following working titles. If you require a concert tailored to a specific event or occasion talk to us as we can most probably put together just what you need.

Food and drink played an important part in the medieval world - it didn't just provide sustenance it was also a symbol of wealth and power.
The Elizabethans actually welcomed black and rotten teeth as it demonstrated that they were wealthy enough to afford sugar.
In medieval England to be below the salt was to be "of lesser importance" the nobility of course sitting on the high table where the very expensive condiment took pride and place.
A serving of songs, dance tunes, motets and madrigals to delight the tastes of all that venture forth.

"A vibrant and polished performance of medieval music." - Felicity Devonshire, St Lawrence's Centre, South Walsham
