Article Title: Bedfordshire Medieval Festival

Festival Name: Bedfordshire Medieval Festival

Festival Country: England

Festival Type(s): Medieval

Fayre opened with a ground-shaking explosion as the gunners from the Compagnie of Saynte Barbara fired their fearsome one-and-a-half tonne siege engine, the Bombard, to let people know that the programme of demonstrations and displays was about to begin

Article Title: Canada Day in London

Festival Name: Canada Day

Festival Country: England

Festival Type(s): National, Historical, Party

Article Title: Cheese Rolling in Gloucestershire

Festival Name: Cheese Rolling

Festival Country: England

Festival Type(s): Sport - Bizarre, Bizarre, Harvest

Wherever it's origins it's hard to argue that cheese rolling is a sport for the outrageously courageous or at least the dangerously demented. Contestants in the Cooper's Hill event (between Gloucester, Stroud and Cheltenham in the Cotswolds) on the last Monday in May, stand precipitously at the top of a 300 yard hill, that maintains a gradient of two in one for the most part whilst a Master of Ceremonies counts them down.

Festival Country: England

Festival Type(s): Music - Rock, Party, Music - World

I want to be buried in mud, rained on in the dance tent by human feces, surrounded by deliciously bizarre people, and maybe (hopefully) catch some of the world's best electronic music performers along the way.

Article Title: Lulworth Castle Medieval Festival

Festival Name: Lulworth Castle Medieval Festival

Festival Country: England

Festival Type(s): Medieval, Historical

Lulworth Castle is a gem though, with round towers at each corner, every child's picturebook vision, and the Festival was arranged to take full advantage of this with the Arena right in front of the main entrance. I had rented a holiday cottage in the village for the weekend, and arrived on the Friday afternoon.

Festival Country: England

Article Title: Moments of Magick at the Stones

Festival Name: Summer Solstice

Festival Country: England

Festival Type(s): Solstice, Pagan, Folk

Me, I haven't rebounded on Earth since the Stones. Not yet. I'm a day back and my head is still somewhere on that wind, rain and mist-filled Plain of Salisbury. The Y2K solstice party seemed to be full of good vibes.
