Last Saturday and Sunday 3rd & 4th July 2010 ,Carrigtwohill held it's annual Medieval Festival at Barryscourt.
The weather stayed fair and the crowds showed up in there droves.
Amongst the many many exhibits on display, it's the "Living History" displays which are my favorites.
But having said that ,the festival really does cater for all the family.
It is without doubt
THE premier festival of it's kind in Munster.
All of the participants are more then willing to talk about there particular group and the era from which they represent.As well as that you can really get up close and personal with the weapons of the day, or maybe you fancy tring on some of that chainmail that youv'e seen in the movies ( it really is heavy).
If you haven't already payed a visit, then keep an eye out for it next July .
You won't regret it!!
