Medieval Festival

Experience the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of West Lancashire 900 years ago, as living history reenactors Historia Normannis take you on a journey back through time at the fantastic Ormskirk Medieval Festival at Coronation Park. 

The FREE two-day event returns on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 May with 12th century re-enactment group Historia Normannis taking visitors on a journey through time to experience everyday life in Norman England. 

Over the weekend, the park will host a variety of medieval-themed activities, with heroic battles, archery and cooking demonstrations of food prepared in traditional Norman ways. Visitors can try on armour, take a closer look at the weapons and how they’re made or even try their hand at archery. There will also be displays of crafts and other medieval-themed activities and stalls. 

The event will feature a special Royal Tournament - a celebration of this year's Eurovision Song Contest and the Coronation of King Charles III, where noble warriors representing European countries will do battle against each other to mark the Coronation of his Royal Highness Henry III.

Hungry crowds will be able to enjoy a range of modern-day refreshments and activities, with donkey rides, face painting, children’s rides and a giant bouncy castle. 

The Ormskirk Medieval Festival has been organised by the West Lancashire Borough Council Parks and Countryside Service. 

(Some activities apart from the medieval displays and demonstrations may have an additional charge)

the event runs form 11am to 5pm on both days
