Medieval days come to life in Blyth
Travel back through time with
the Blyth Festival to the glorious
medieval days of pagentry, enter
taining song and savory food at
Blyth and District Community Cen

When you arrive in your mediev-

Noblemen and given your medieval
name and then introduced to other
members of your fiefdom and
kingdom. Local wenches will serve
your food and servants will cater to
your wishes at this fun-filled event.
Special banners have been design

structed by Friends of Blyth for this
special occasion. Students from
Blyth Public School have assisted
in decorating by creating stained
glass windows for the Feast. Tick

frivolity. There are prizes for best
costumes. All proceeds go to the
Blyth Festival Capital Campaign.
Taking major roles in this enter

and Floyd Herman from Clinton.
The audience gets into the act all
night long with each fiefdom
striving to upstage the other in all
sorts of competitions. There will be
jugglers, roving performers, great
food - but watch that you don’t get
thrown in the stocks for not obeying
the Kingdom’s noblemen.
“You never know what to expect
at Blyth’s fund-raising events”
says Jane Gardner, Director of
Communications. “Our murder
mystery dinners have been a very
popular item and our audiences
love being in on the action. We’ve
had a number of groups already
book tickets to the Medieval Feast
from Clinton, Goderich, Blyth and
even London.”
