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.
