Welcome to the Medieval Methil Web site.

We are a living history group based in Leven, Fife.
Our group was founded in 2000 with the ultimate aim of building a medieval village on a permanent site.
We hold our feasts and meetings in Hal'Tarthie (Arthur's Hall) On Nairn Street in Leven.

Our group is composed of members of many ages.

We take part in many different activities so there’s always something for everyone.

Some of the activities we take part in are:-

• Fighting
• Medieval crafts
• Making chain mail
• Wool crafts
• Wood crafts
• Leatherwork
• Cooking
• Brewing
• Costume making
  
  Our big event of the year is a festival in August when we build a medieval village on Leven promenade
  and spend the weekend doing displays of crafts and fighting. There are also some stalls selling medieval style/replica goodies and crafts.
• We are available to attend historical events, galas etc, Although we are a non-profit making group, we have to charge a fee to help us pay for insurance, upkeep of equipment, storage for huts etc.

We give presentations to clubs, groups etc about Medieval Methil and individual members specialties

We also do presentations for schools. We can arrange a day's programme on 'Life in viking times','Life at the time of Wallace and Bruce' and 'Life at the time of Mary Queen of Scots'. These days include interactive experiences and fit in with the Curriculum for Excellence. For these school days we ask for a donation to Medieval Methil.
