England's Medieval Festival 2026 in East Sussex is billed as the UK's largest medieval-themed festival. On the sprawling grounds of Pippingford Park, knights, jesters and re-enactment groups bring the Middle Ages to life over three days on the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Highlights:

• Knights jousting and daily battle re-enactments
• Falconry, archery and a grand parade
• Medieval market with traders and crafts
• Music, jesters and living-history camps
