Colourful medieval festival near Hailsham shows off life in olden times

Sword battles, falconry and medieval craft demonstrations wowed the crowds at Michelham Priory last weekend (September 4 and 5).

The festival, which celebrated life in the Middle Ages, also included living history camps, cookery and colourful historical dress.

Children were able to take part in a medieval trail across the Priory grounds, and even have a go at hobby horse jousting.

Sussex Newspapers photographer Jon Rigby went along on the Saturday and took these pictures of the day.
