>This small not for profit festival aims to 
>celebrate the spirit, knowledge and energies of 
>the people of the region.  For a long time our 
>isolation has meant we maintain an independent 
>spirit. We first put together an event in 2011 
>after our village in Theddlethorpe near 
>Mablethorpe was identified by our local 
>authority as an unsustainable village.  A 
>handful of people with the rebellious nature 
>homed by our special area decided to show the 
>powers that were just how wrong they are.  A 
>fantastic Viking festival was set up around the 
>village with Music, Stalls, Talks, Dancing, 
>Workshops, Art and a procession with a 
>re-enactment of a Viking burial went ahead 
>showcasing our local talent and heritage.  After 
>a couple of years we had to downsize a little 
>because of spiralling health and safety costs 
>and we decided to explore  the pagan roots of 
>our area.  We continued In Theddlethorpe until 
>2016 when a move proved necessary due to family circumstances.
>
>We relocated to nearby Trusthorpe 5 minutes walk 
>the beautiful beach and transport links although 
>we can provide a sand train a road train and a 
>ghost train.  We have continue to explore our 
>pagan roots with a Beltane celebration over the 
>Mayday bank holiday weekend.  The festival has 
>full weekend camping but for those who prefer to 
>book in to nearby static caravans or b&b at this 
>time of year there are a few only minutes walk 
>away while not being visible from the site that 
>has views of the marsh plains and the 
>Lincolnshire Wolds.  Spirit of the Marsh now 
>boasts an beautiful bar and entertainment tent 
>filled with original music.  We have a talks 
>tent throughout the days with rebound speakers. 
>Fantastic Heritage skills participation 
>workshops including wood turning bow making and 
>stone masonry.  Craft workshops, alternative 
>therapies, rituals and ceremonies, A May queen 
>parade, dancing ,food including vegan catering
