I used to live near there, and I LOVED the Swiss Garden, but the Shuttleworth collection is also well worth a visit. Leave a bit earlier and take in both, eminently doable in a day (used to do it all the time with visitors from NZ, when they came over)
Authentic medieval clothing IS practical! I mean medieval ladies managed. Something with tight sleeves and no train (and warm enough, though the weather forecast for the weekend is good) should be fine. And fun to swan around the Swiss Garden in and have pics taken. It's just bonkers, it's like the biggest folly in the world!
