We walked again down to Gupshill Manor for breakfast, though we ordered only sausage and egg sandwiches this time, rather than full Englishes (but we didn't enjoy this breakfast as much as the previous day's).
We had wanted to watch the parade which takes place on the Sunday morning. We made our way to the festival site, where we thought the parade would end up, but it had dissipated by the time it got to the site and the participants came in mixed with the spectators.
We spent some time going round the festival site again and checking out once more the products on display, then walked back to the campsite, packed up and headed off. We could have stayed for a repeat of the re-enactment of the battle, though having already seen it yesterday, we decided to go home.
We enjoyed this festival. We like Tewkesbury anyway - the people, its ambience, an interesting selection of shops and, it seemed, a lack of giant malls and shopping centres.
As we missed the parade, here's a link to flickr pages with photos from over the years (
