The plan was to visit Herstmonceux Castle and Grounds. We headed east, passing Brighton and Lewes, crossing the meridian, and noticing signs announcing a Medieval Festival... at Herstmonceux.
Not only was the festival unexpected, it was a little pricey to get in (though to be fair, it was only because it hadn't been expected).Making our way down the drive we were greeted by the first of several fields full of folk in medieval dress, tending their tents, showing their wares, and practicing their skills.
It was obviously popular as there were quite literally thousands of cars in the surrounding fields (set aside for car parks).
