BACK TO PERFORMERS
BACK TO DAILY PROGRAMME

Paul Bavill, Rory Ware and Kyle Glover are three hugely talented costumed historical interpreters who will be demonstrating martial skills, dark crimes and hidden heroics in a mix of history that stretches from the Middle Ages to the Second World War. From 15th-century armoured combat to the artful techniques of Victorian self-defence, don’t miss their unique blend of action, education, and comedy.

Foreign Field will be at the festival Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
