Festival of FunFestival of FunGaltres steps back in time to days of yore to the days of knights, dragons and a very worried king who can’t get his children to sleep. We have a tented mediaval village to wander around and all sorts of crafts and activities to take part in, with Jousting, falconry and good things to eat…
For those of you light on your feet on Sunday evening we have the wonderful Dragon Ball held in the beautiful Starshade hosted by Le Grande, complete with a Chinese Dragon Dance. The Little Top is full to bursting point with top class family entertainment. Bang a drum with the Funky Junk Trio, dance like nobody’s looking with the wonderful Selma and her Bollywood dancing workshop. While we’re talking about exotic visitors to the village we also have Viking Dragon Slayers setting up camp - visit them if you dare to learn about their adventures. Kaminari Taiko drums are back to make some noise and warn off any dragon in the area. Not To be missed The G-Factor is back on Friday & Saturday, showcasing some extremely talented young performers. If you have any energy left join us on the green for our village sports day, for the dragon races, or just sit in the shade and watch the fun. We have a full line-up of theatre in the Pash Tent with offerings from the popular Snickleways theatre group, and the Modern Mystery Plays. Small Fry Theatre will be performing their ‘play in a week which, yes, you guessed it ... is about a dragon! Professor Fiddlesticks will be on hand to astound you with his circus skills, juggling and very own brand of festival fun. And a Knight School! Oh there’s lots to do, even more to see and good things to eat ….a cornucopia of medieval merriment. Join us in the village where we have story tellers and poets of international renown sharing traditional stories poetry and original tales based on their life experiences and the people they meet along the way …listen carefully you might just recognise yourself! The lovely people at Clay Fish will be looking after you nicely in the Little Top on Saturday, bringing you drama games workshops, a dazzling magic workshop, and even a yo-yo session. Remember Little Zombies from last year? On Sunday they'll be making another film on location at Galtres Festival with YOU as the cast. Look out for further details and you could be a movie star!
