2004 saw the second Medieval Fayre
in Evesham, organised by Bengeworth Traders, alongside the first hot air
balloon show.
Town centre manager Lew Hammond said
that he thought that as many as 10,000 people were drawn out by the hot
weather, to an event packed with attractions. "It was a tremendous
success and a lovely weekend." Attractions included mock combat,
funfair, jesters, medieval food and music.
The Society set up and manned a
stall at the Fayre, with an exhibition on the Battle of Evesham ("Once
Upon a Time in 1265 ...") and a collection of enthusiastic (and sometimes
costumed) volunteers.
