Legend has it that there was a fair in mediaeval  times, held in the village centre., which died out in the 14th century.

    It was revived, as a midsummer fair in 1993 and has been held, ever since, on the nearest Sunday to June 21st.

It is,therefore, fitting that our headline event is a major battle re-enactment by the

the premier re-enactment society in the UK. They will be in the village all weekend with cameo performances and an authentic encampment culminating in a pitched battle on Sunday afternoon.

A pitched battle with cannon, cavalry, musket and pike!
