Something for everyone:
The Festival literally starts with a bang with a costumed Civil War re-enactment from the John Brighte’s Regiment of Foote: skirmishes, drilling, living history and surprise attacks.  BEWARE – THE CANNON SHOTS WILL BE VERY LOUD.  At the Tented Village, see how the soldiers live, eat and prepare for battle.  Experts are on hand to tell you about their weapons and armour., drilling and discipline.  Not to be missed.

FALCONRY
An exciting display of falconry with birds of prey will demonstrate the natural ability of the birds and the expertise of the Falconers.  Visit the birds on their roosts in between displays.

TICKLISH ALLSORTS
