Introduction to Mayfest and Augfest
Mayfest is a non profit live role play event held annually on the second bank holiday in May at Southcott Farm in Winkleigh, Devon. On the practical side this site contains the regulations for the event as well as local information, advice and how to get to the event. You can also find the rules for the events here.
Mayfest is run by Mayfest LARP so that those on low incomes or without much spare cash, like students, single parents and families, get a chance to attend a larp event that would normally cost around twice as much.
Augfest is simply a follow on from Mayfest, run by the same people at the same site.
Near the top on the left is a link called simply, The Forums. This is a board set up for Mayfest players. Players have to register for it and the registration must be approved. This helps us to filter out advetisers (and worse) and keep the boards safe for family use.
This Site Provides:
Booking details along with a downloadable booking form in more that one format. Provided here are dates, cost details and contacts for the events.
Travel details as well as a few facilities and features in the surrounding area. This part of Devon is truely beautiful in spite of mankind and some folk enjoy our events as part of their holiday in the area.
How to Play the Game: There are three documents one giving the site regulations, one giving safety rules and the last giving the rules of the game that will tell you how to play it. Apart from these rules and regs there are tips and advice for role playing itself.
The Mayfest World is the make believe world the game takes place in. Here we give a history as well as a decription of the lands and the story of the festivals to date. All of this helps to provide the backdrop for our role play.
Mayfest for Children: As we said above, Mayfest and Augfest are suitable for families and this means children are welcome. This section gives some activities and stories for children.
