Event Description

Knights on horesback, displays of swordplay and archery, Midsummer Fairies, bonfire, children's activities and more.....

Experience the magical delights of a Midsummer Celebration on Sunday, June 21, at the Adam Thoroughgood House from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. To mark the longest day of the year, the historic site welcomes summer with a celebration reminiscent of an English Medieval Fair. Be taken back in time as you watch brave knights on horseback, displays of swordplay and archery and the launching of "the Great Trebuchet," all presented by the House DuChasse. A special activity will be the "Human Chess Board," a game once played to entertain royalty. As you search for Midsummer Fairies, you may even catch a glimpse of the mystical "Green Man," the true spirit of Midsummer.

Midsummer has always had special meaning as a time to celebrate the summer solstice. It was believed that this day held magical properties and the telling of fortunes at this time could correctly predict a person’s true destiny.

Toast Midsummer's arrival with a cup of Cuckoo's Foot Ale and make a special wish by the Midsummer Bonfire. The wizard, witch and gypsy will weave their special Midsummer magic as you join the merriment and festivities of this traditional English event.

Admission for this special event is $3 per person; fathers are admitted FREE! The Adam Thoroughgood House is located at 1636 Parish Road in Virginia Beach. Call (757) 460-7588 for further information.
