England Festival Articles
12 festival article(s) returned for England
Displaying article(s) 1 to 12 ordered by festival name
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: Burning the Clocks in Brighton
Festival Name: Burning the Clocks
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Solstice, Pagan, Street Parade
About a mile down the promenade from Brighton Pier, people congregate and gaze out over the silent beach towards the calm silhouette of a wicker king. They throng in the gathering darkness of the year's longest night, kids and adults jostling and stretching to get the best view. Except for their shuffling and whispering all you can here is the wind, and the slow ominous tattoo of the single drum.
Article Title: Canada Day in London
Festival Name: Canada Day
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): National, Historical, Party
Canadians seldom get vocal about much. There are loads of us in London but we never make ourselves known like our fellow Aussie and Kiwi working holidaymakers. A big reason for that could be that we don't have many events in London to support, but when July 1st rolls around, Canadians flock to the Maple Leaf pub in Covent Garden to show their patriotism.
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.
Article Title: Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling
Festival Name: Cheese Rolling
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Bizarre, Sport - Bizarre, Traditional
I never expected to spend my May Bank Holiday weekend as a participant in one of Europe's wackiest and most dangerous events, but there I was, perched atop a huge, steep, bumpy hill in Gloucestershire as an entrant in the third race of the day, about to throw myself down after a piece of rolling cheese.
Article Title: Getting Ready for the Glastonbury Festival
Festival Name: Glastonbury Festival
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.
Article Title: London's Calypso Carnival
Festival Name: Notting Hill Carnival
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Carnival, Street Parade, Party
But all that changes on the August bank holiday weekend as the Notting Hill Carnival - Europe's largest street party and second only in the world to Rio's Carnaval - swings and sways its way into W11.
Article Title: One Love Festival
Festival Name: One Love Festival
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Music - Reggae, Party
One Love Festival celebrates the anniversary of Bob Marley's infamous 1978 One Love concert and offers you four days and nights of pure reggae love
Article Title: Respect
Festival Name: Respect Festival
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Multicultural, Music - World, Music - Varied
It was a beautiful summers day in London and I was on the way to RESPECT - an Anti-racism and Multicultural Festival. This annual event has been held in July, for the past 2 years in various parks around London. This year the festival was held in Victoria Park, Hackney.
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.
Article Title: The Festival of the Soggy Bed and Some Guy Called Our Pat
Festival Name: The Championships - Wimbledon
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Sport - Racquet, Traditional
As far as sporting festivals go they don't come much purer than the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club's annual Championships, at Wimbledon.
