The gates may have closed this past weekend after three glorious days of England's Medieval Festival at The King's Grove, Pippingford Park, but the memories are unforgettable.
The response from public and participants to the setting, atmosphere and action at our new location was overwhelmingly positive!
A huge thank you to everyone who made EMF 2023 such a magical experience. We could not have done it without all of your support.🤍

The best way to experience the full atmosphere of the festival is to come and stay for the whole weekend.
There were evening parades with special horseback fire shows, outdoor cinema for all ages, medieval astronomy and bonfires.
While the forest sparkled at night, evening bands like Noble Jacks, Hope Cove and James Kerry Band got everyone in the Buxom W***h Tavern up and dancing. 🎶
