Visitors will be shown how to grind corn in the working watermill by costumed Tudor millers.
There will be games, plays and stories for children, displays of Tudor food and a herbalist will prepare treatments for ailments including plague.
A sergeant of the local militia will be seeking recruits to put through a sword drill.
Richard and Elizabeth York will entertain on a wide range of period instruments, from English bagpipes and the hurdy-gurdy to the more refined melodies of harps and recorders.
