Berry Celtic Festival

The Berry Celtic Festival promises a day full of medieval entertainment. The Grand Street Parade of Pipe Bands marching in their distinctive kilts, Celtic Clans, medieval knights, and Scottish Terrier dogs commences at 9.30 am, all heading to the Berry Showground. Jousting has been one of the real hits of the Celtic Festival and is full of excitement, and the heavily armoured noble knights will once again put on a great show. In the background, medieval mercenaries re-live battles in hand-to-hand combat, demonstrating their skilful swordplay. You can also listen to the Celtic fiddlers and the enchanted singing, watch the competition games, or just browse the many Celtic merchandise stalls. There is always something to do. Come see the marching of the massed bands, musical items, Celtic fiddlers, highland dancing, enchanted singing, and, of course, the battles of the medieval knights. The Berry Celtic Festival is a fundraising project of the Rotary Club of Berry. Check the website for full details and ticketing arrangements.
