- The Feasting Tent, a huge tent where The Household all sit down together once per day for an authentic medieval feast complete with displays of period etiquette
- The Chapel, where The Household's priest issues blessings and absolutions to The Household's knights and soldiers
- The Scriptorium, where monks work on replica texts and their beautification to the glory of God
- The Royal Tent, where the king receives petitioners and conducts his business in opulent surroundings
- Knights and Soldiers' Tents, where the different social ranks in The Household display their property and how they would sleep while on campaign
