Bydd penwythnos prysur o hanes byw, arfau a rhyfela yn cael ei gynnal yng Nghastell Caeriw dros ŵyl y banc, wrth i grŵp hanes byw Historia Normannis fynd ag ymwelwyr yn ôl i’r 12fed ganrif yn un o’r atyniadau mwyaf poblogaidd yn Sir Benfro.

Bydd y tri diwrnod o weithgarwch, sydd am ddim gyda’r pris mynediad arferol i’r Castell, yn cynnwys gwersyll canoloesol yn arddangos sgiliau traddodiadol, ynghyd ag arddangosiadau ymladd ac arfau anhygoel.

Bydd uchafbwyntiau eraill yn cynnwys Sioe Ffasiwn ganoloesol am 12pm bob dydd, ynghyd â sesiwn Llys y Sir am 2pm, a fydd yn tynnu sylw at y cyfreithiau caled a didrugaredd a oedd yn cael eu gorfodi yn yr Oesoedd Canol.

Dywedodd Daisy Hughes, Rheolwr Castell a Melin Heli Caeriw: “Rydyn ni’n falch iawn o groesawu Historia Normannis yn ôl i Gaeriw dros wyliau’r banc. Bydd y Penwythnos o Arfau a Rhyfela yn wers hanes fythgofiadwy am amodau byw byddin o’r 12fed ganrif.

“Mae’n argoeli i fod yn dri diwrnod cyffrous, lle bydd ymwelwyr yn cael cyfle i drin a thrafod atgynyrchiadau o arteffactau, ac i fireinio eu sgiliau rhyfela eu hunain drwy roi cynnig ar saethyddiaeth. Sylwer y codir tâl bach am rai o’r gweithgareddau.”

Bydd Penwythnos o Arfau a Rhyfela Caeriw yn cael ei gynnal o ddydd Sadwrn 24 Awst tan ddydd Llun 26 Awst, rhwng 10am a 4pm bob dydd.

 An action-packed weekend of living history, weaponry and warfare awaits visitors to Carew Castle this bank holiday, as the Historia Normannis living history group transports one of Pembrokeshire’s most popular visitor attractions back to the 12th century.

The three-day spectacle, which is free with normal Castle entry, will feature a medieval encampment showcasing traditional skills, along with astounding combat and weaponry displays.

Other highlights will include a medieval fashion show at noon each day, along with a Shire Court session at 2pm, which will highlight the strict and often harsh enforcement of medieval laws.

Manager of Carew Castle and Tidal Mill Daisy Hughes said: “We’re delighted to welcome Historia Normannis back to Carew. The Weekend of Weaponry and Warfare promises an unforgettable history lesson on the living conditions of a 12th-century army on the march.

“In what promises to be an exhilarating three days, visitors will also have the chance to handle replica artefacts and hone their own warrior skills with Have-a-Go Archery. Please note that a small charge will apply for some of the activities.”

The Weekend of Weaponry and Warfare runs from Saturday 24 August to Monday 26 August, 10am to 4pm each day.
