The weapons used for hunting are the same as those used for war and competitions: bow, crossbow, lance or spear, knife and sword. The horses they ride are the most important animal of a great medieval household or army, and are used in battle as well as during a show of chivalry at a Joust. On this August Bank holiday weekend, all members of society are invited by the ’King’ to come to experience and revel in the sights, sounds, skills, food, and drink at the annual England's Medieval Festival.  England’s Medieval Festival is the largest medieval themed festival in the UK. It is a 'must see' event for all ages to attend, where visitors can step back in time for the day or for the weekend. Enjoy the thrill of Knights Jousting; Daily Battles and Artillery Displays; Grand Parade; Falconry; Archery Tournament; Craftsmen and Traders; a Kids Kingdom; Minstrels, Magicians; Jesters; Hog Roasts and much more medieval mayhem! There are three outdoor and two indoor stage areas, with performances throughout the day; and in the evening all performances are indoors in the main marquees. Real ales, mead and medieval style food is on offer for visitors to enjoy. Day Visitors and Weekend Camping amd Medieval Glamping on the grounds. To Book Day or Weekend Tickets, please Click Here

(2024-07-13 to 2024-07-14) Tewkesbury Medieval Festival Tewkesbury Medieval Festival has been the high spot of Tewkesbury’s summer since 1983. It is now widely regarded as the largest free medieval gathering of its kind in Europe, attracting re-enactors, traders, entertainers, and visitors from all over the world. Its central feature is a spectacular re-enactment of the Battle of Tewkesbury on part of the site of the original battle of 1471. Many of the participants including wives and children live as a medieval army in authentic encampments for the whole weekend. It also features a wide range of period entertainment, including music, dance and drama as well as collection of fascinating characters from the past. These may include surgeons, preachers and even the odd dragon keeper. There is a children’s activity area, with period based arts and craft sessions, and an exhibition tent with displays from organisations specialising in various aspects of history. Our busy and colourful medieval market has everything from a suit of armour or a fabulous gown, to pot of herbs or bag of sweets on sale. There are also associated events in the town, which is decorated with authentic medieval banners for the festival period. Food and drink (including ale specially brewed for the occasion,) are widely available and best of all, despite its size and popularity, entry to Tewkesbury Medieval Festival is free, and it hard working volunteer directors are determined to keep it that way.

(2024-05-11 to 2024-05-12) A Festival for Pagans & Witches Although not a registered charity, the Festival for pagans and witches is not for profit.   The festival council members do not take any money for the organisation and running of this festival. Any profit made is used in one of two ways.  Some of any profit made is put back into the running of the next festival. There are two festivals annually.  Any profit remaining is being saved with a view to create a safe space for members of the pagan community who struggle with mental health challenges, discrimination due to faith and bullying be that in person or virtual. The safe space itself and process to access it are currently being worked out and finalised. We will make announcements when this has been completed.

An plenty o' clever musements for little uns. Aye, we all ad a great time and can't wait for next year! If ye was there, I wishes ye a safe voyage till next year; I know ye'll be back.

An outdoor witches ball almost! This is all included in your Saturday or weekend ticket price and doesn’t have limited spaces, so don’t forget your amazing costumes once more and come and join us for our Saturday evening of music, dance (if you want to!) and friendship.
