Many medieval festivals were religious, and were celebrated in a local church or church yard. Some of what we might call festivals were fairs, which were set up near towns or places where roads converged, such as crossroads and bridges.

Major events also had religious ceremonies, and these would have happened in cathedrals or possibly abbeys, if they were sufficiently grand. A few festivals were celebrations of some sort with local meaning, and these could have been done anywhere the people who organized them might think appropriate.
