Event Short Description

Arundel Castle will be hosting a Medieval Festival – A Skirmish, over the last May bank holiday week

Event Information

This thrilling event will be set in 1474 as Arundel Castle becomes the stage for a gripping clash between England and France. While the Earl’s forces are deployed abroad, a daring French raiding party lands on the coast, intent on capturing the castle and plundering the South Coast. With only a small garrison force left to defend it, the Earl’s household must unite to repel the attack and hold their ground until reinforcements arrive.

Throughout the festival, visitors can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and energy of medieval England. Three authentic tented encampments will showcase 15th-century crafts, cooking, weaponry and armour, allowing visitors to step back in time and experience medieval life firsthand. Thrill-seekers can try their hands at archery, axe throwing and warrior training, while children can join in the excitement of Arundel Castle’s renowned ‘kids battles’ or visit the craft tent, making this event truly enjoyable for all ages.
