Description : 19 Mar, 2023
Arundel Castle is excited to announce its upcoming Medieval Festival – A Skirmish, taking place over the end of May bank holiday weekend from Saturday 27th to Monday 29th May 2023.
Experience history depicted like never before at Arundel Castle's 15th-century Wars of the Roses family event. King Edward IV, Duke of York, faces rebellion from the supporters of the former King, Henry VI, Duke of Lancaster. For one weekend only, Arundel Castle serves as the backdrop for an imaginary Lancastrian raiding party engaging with Yorkist forces, bringing to life a turbulent period in England's history.
The festival will feature three tented encampments showcasing 15th-century crafts, including forging, leather work, cooking, weapons, and armour. Visitors can also participate in hands-on activities, such as archery, axe throwing, and warrior training, and younger guests can also get involved in Arundel Castle’s renowned ‘kids battles’. Falconry demonstrations, medieval music performances, fire eating, artillery demonstrations and skirmishes will add to the immersive experience.
Andrew Lewis, Castle Manager at Arundel Castle, said: “We are thrilled to host the Medieval Festival and to offer visitors an exciting opportunity to experience history like never before. Our aim is to provide an immersive experience that is both educational and fun for the whole family. It’s a great opportunity for visitors to see the Castle and gardens and experience the Festival over the May bank holiday weekend.”
With a plethora of activities to enjoy, visitors can take a break at the Knights’ Table, serving delicious foods with a medieval twist and a range of drinks close to the encampment. Alternatively, they are welcome to enjoy the Castle’s café, restaurant or tea terrace, or bring their own picnics to enjoy in the Castle grounds.
Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to experience history like never before.
