If music and revelry is more to your liking, there's the
Guild of St. Ives or "the Revelers". Located mainly at the Dirty Duck Inn, you can find them
engaged in a variety of entertainments -- such as performing the country dance "Line Nonesuch"
(Photo, above). Or you might find them partaking in round of "Twister", Bristol style
(Photo, right).
You could go to the Noble's Glade, where the activities of the Court transpire (Photo, above). Here, Queen Elizabeth accepts gifts from various dignitaries (Photo, below).
There were many exciting acts at Bristol this season,
including that cantankerous corpse, "DED BOB" (Photos, left and below). Ded Bob was making
his first appearance ever at this faire, and the crowds were ready and willing to be
"bob-motized".
Another entertaining act making it's debut is "Waking Maggie",
a Celtic group formed by cast members (Photo, below). They perform lovely traditional
tunes and can be found playing to the crowds on their own or accompanying the Revelers.
