Crowland Abbey

This is probably the funniest story of the English Civil War. 

Picture this…an East Anglian village uses the war as an excuse to kidnap the neighbouring village’s vicar. The neighbouring village militia turn up quite annoyed at this imposition to retrieve their vicar. Battle ensues ineffectually. Nobody dies except some poor fool who falls off the Abbey roof. The New Model Army arrive as the peace keepers and everyone ends up in one of the local hostelries 

The village love us. They come out to watch us assemble at the famous Trinity Bridge and follow the march. The crowds are massive and the battle the most fun you’ll have in a long time and one of the few where you get to play with scaling ladders and throwing things at each other whilst trying to attack a graveyard.

Flat campsite, brilliant battles, good pubs, epic band. If you’re still looking for something to do at the end of June then this is it.
