Festival Activities
Live music will be complemented by a unique arts trail, a path embedded in the stunning natural setting of the old rockery; encounter a world filled with the kooky, colourful, weird and wonderful. The Arts Trail involves a great array of work by local and national based artists with creations ranging from giant pink flamingos; alien fork people, punk birds, life size wire sculptures, recycled art and more installations of all shapes and sizes and in all kinds of locations. Performance Artists will also be in situ along the trail, inviting people to join in on the fun.
A Medieval village will offer a wonderful interaction of living history displays and period tents. Medieval folk, who are in character for the entire weekend, delight in sharing their enthusiasm and knowledge of these fascinating times. Battle re-enactments seem to be a particular favourite!
