Hastings Medieval Festival

The 8th annual Hastings Medieval Festival is a 3 day festival that highlights the sword fighter and entertainment. We have many different styles of sword fighting and each one is showcased at the main list area. You can talk to them afterwards at their own booth. There are also musicians and falconers that perform throughout the weekend. We have many medieval vendors selling their wares and activities for the whole family to participate in: Axe Throwing, Spear Throwing and Archery. Enjoy the Medieval Experience
