Mediaeval Tournament at Hawarden Park


Can anyone drink a yard of ale? The people of Deeside give it a go whilst also enjoying the chance to be a medieval lady for a day, or an armoured knight, or Robin Hood with bow and arrow. The local Round Table has provided jousting and a martial arts demonstration, swing boat rides, a tug-of-war and a silver band playing on as knights are un-horsed, a hog is roasted, hot dogs and ice-cream are consumed and the beer flows. The film-maker has provided a last-minute duel!
