Fete d'Etai
Castle Cornet’s medieval day is back, with the Fete d’Etai (pronounced 'fight debt eye') being held on Sunday 17 August as a celebration of the island’s spectacular castle and its medieval origins.
It will be a packed day of things to see and do, with activities, crafts, storytelling and live music. And, just like in previous years, admission is free for those who arrive in medieval dress.
Members of Jersey group The Duke's Leopards will return to the Middle Ward to set up a small medieval camp with a cooking area. Here, visitors can learn about medieval food, play games and more.
Joining them is live action role play group Tol Galen, who will be providing entertainment in the form of sword fights and displays of weapons and armour. For those wanting something a little gentler, visitors can try the ancient skill of willow weaving with local artist Rae Bearder.
Admission
Normal admission applies: £12 for adults and £3 for children or students. Under 7s go free. Those in medieval costume (as approved by the welcomer at the Castle gate), Discovery Pass holders and their accompanying under 18s also enter free of charge.
