Lochmere

It is the year 1590 and the people of Smeewick are celebrating the return of Spring and the peaceful season ahead. War has abated, merchants and players have returned to town. In an effort to keep the peace, Smeewick’s Lord Mayor has organized a display of arms to coincide with the town’s Spring Fayre. All are invited to participate in the day’s entertainments!
