Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, UK. 8th July 2017. Pictured: A piper dressed as a green Man entertains visitors at the re-enactment. / Thousands of re-enactors, entertainers, traders and sightseers congregate in Tewkesbury for the largest annual free medieval gathering of its kind in Europe. The Festival's main attraction is a re-enactment of the Battle of Tewkesbury, on part of the site of the original 1471 battlefield where the Yorkists fought the Lancastrians in the Wars of the Roses. Many of the Euro-wide participants include wives and children who live as a medieval army in authentic encampments for the whole weekend.
