The Wicked Wenches - Humorous antics about attracking men with audience participation--for a few unfortunate souls. This was a festival of humor on the period with folks in period dress walking throughout the grounds talking, arguing, and joking with each other.

Scottish Bagpipes - Throughout the Enchanted Forest there were singers, folks playing instruments, jugglers, and craftmakers. There was wonderful food to be had at places like the Cotswald Kitchens, Queen's Pantry, Royal Kitchens, 3 Creeks Tavern and the Guinness Pub.

Joust of Morelandshire - Queen's Squire. The Squire announces the Queen and King to the audience. As the queen gives us the wave, the audience cheers, long live the queen. Part of the audience is selected to cheer the knight in red, and part of the audience is asked to join in booing the black knight. Guess who was the bad knight??

Joust of Morelandshire - Knights Clash. After showing their skills in accuracy and strength, it is time for the lance. The Queen's squire announces to the crowds lining the end of the rink, that if a horse comes at full gallop towards them, do not stand in amazement, but step aside. The horses at full gallop traveling toward each other, knight's lances poised for battle, and CRASH, both knight's armor are pierced by the lances that are then torn from their grip. Does the red knight win. Of course the red knight wins; this is the Enchanted Forest!

Malarky and Poppycock - Originals from Ireland singing those Irish pub songs.
