Immediately after the conquest, William the Conqueror sent his trusted man William FitzOsbern to construct and hold a new castle on the river bend of the Wye where Chepstow now stands.

New people, new ways, new music? Trouvere take visitors back to the earliest days of Cas-Gwent, with music and tales from the time.

Performances and demonstrations throughout the day.
