Mediaeval Fayre - Saturday 18th May - 10 am to 4 pm - Village Green and
Ceddesfeld Hall and Lawns
The ‘Dark Ages’ return once again to Sedgefield in a
big way! The fayre will begin with a ‘Mediaeval’
walking procession - vibrant, colourful and lively,
including children from local primary schools,
nurseries, and sports groups.
The parade will
culminate in demonstrations and performances,
with mediaeval knights, country dancers and some
rather large bubbles!
Two SCA tombola stalls, will be full of bottles, gifts,
and vouchers (donated by very supportive local
businesses), whilst around the Green there will be
various craft and gift stalls as well as the traditional
fun fair.
In the showground arena, mediaeval
knights will demonstrate combat skills, local groups
will do battle in the tug of war and a fantastic
falconry display will entertain the crowds - not to be missed!
Ceddesfeld lawns will be open, for everyone to enjoy. Attractions include
Walworth Falconry, face painting, circus skills workshops, Chi Taekwondo
workshops, ACLE and Escafeld Living History, with ‘Knights Table’, candle
making and displays.
True North Trades (have a go at working on the anvil) and
‘Viking Realm’ artefacts, have been added to this year’s attractions.
In the main hall, a varied menu of delicious hot and cold food, prepared by
Lesley, Neil and the team from Sedgefield’s own ‘Mess Charcuterie’, will be
served throughout the day.
The bar
will be open from 11am.
Business Community Support and Volunteers – Mediaeval Fayre 2024
The SCA Mediaeval Fayre is
organised by a small committee, who
wholly rely on local people as well as
various community groups,
organisations, and businesses to get
involved; to engage and volunteer to
help in making the event successful
and sustainable.
Several local shops,
services and groups already get
involved every year, which is
fantastic. Without donations and
sponsorship as well as practical help
from volunteers with setting up,
taking down, manning stalls, running
activities, etc. the event could not
take place.
Please do get in touch if
you, your business, organisation, or
your group, can offer any help with
the activities.
