Medieval festival returns to Castle Cornet

The day will feature living sword fighting displays, medieval dancing and food

Islanders will have the chance to experience food and games from the middle ages as a medieval festival returns to Castle Cornet this weekend.

The Fete d'Etai, which means Summer festival in Guernsey French, is being held from 10:00 to 17:00 BST on Sunday.

The day will feature activities such as history performances, sword fighting displays, dancing and willow weaving classes.

Miffy Lane from Guernsey Museums, said: "It's always wonderful to see people getting into the medieval spirit and in particular getting creative with costuming."

The organisers are encouraging people to dress up for the event, with free entry to the castle for anyone in medieval costume, as well as for people with discovery passes and children under seven.

Ms Lane said: "In the past we've even had handmade costumes constructed from old pillowcases and cereal boxes."
