More info

Festival goers can also expect Morris dancing, music workshops, shanty singing, stone balancing, circus workshops, story-telling and performers in pubs, cafes and on the sea-front.

This year’s event includes three Marine Theatre shows, great live music nightly on the Pilot Boat second stage, Morris parade including Steampunk Morris, street theatre, busking, singarounds, story-telling and countless other activities and attractions.

One special event is the premiere of a new mummers play, the Monmouth Mummers, written by local playwright Harry Ford and telling the story of the Monmouth rebellion. The ‘summer mummer’ will follow the path of the 1685 events, stopping on the very spots where history was made more than 300 years ago.

More information will be here when available.
