The two-day event will also have a jousting display by Europe's premier horsemen, The Knights Of Arkley, a medieval village, and they hope to have roughly half of the audience dressed as mead-sipping knights or wenches. The festival also features archery, jousting, a lords and ladies football tournament, a mead tent, etc, with many people attending wearing costume and joining in!

Based on the non corporate festivals of the late sixties and early seventies this small (approx 1000) event. It also features a Saturday morning coach trip to the seaside. Originally situated at a wild west theme park near Newquay in Cornwall from 2003, this themed rock festival outgrew the site and moved to Margam Park, a deer park near Port Talbot, South Wales in 2006. With the move, it changed its theme to medieval inspired by the ruined abbey on the site.

Tickets are on sale priced at £60 for a weekend ticket with camping. To buy tickets click here.
