The word 'Lammas' comes from the old English language, meaning 'loaf mass'. It is a harvest festival, a celebration of the Earth's bounty which traditionally was held at the time of the cutting of the first corn crop. In Ireland it is known as Lughnassah, the name being derived from the old Celtic sun-God Lugh. It is one of the four ancient Pagan Celtic Fire festivals.Along with the variety of music from the bands on the main stage and Morris dance displays, the highlights of the weekend are the seafront procession, the drumming, the open air ceilidh and the ritual celebration of Lammas. There are variety of stalls, crafts, storytelling and demonstrations on the festival site, a beer tent and food stalls.
