Event Information

The year is 1480 and England is finally at peace after years of civil war, known as the War of the Roses. Yet, national rivalries don’t die easily, and those between England and France are no exception.

A French raiding party has crossed the channel, intent on plundering the South Coast and capturing Arundel Castle. With only a small garrison force left to defend the castle, the Earl’s household must unite to repel the attack and hold their ground until reinforcements arrive.

Visitors can step into the heart of the action with three immersive tented encampments showcasing authentic 15th-century crafts, cooking, weaponry, and armour. Get hands-on with activities like archery, and witness the excitement of two daily skirmishes* as the garrison and raiders clash. Perfect for all ages, this event offers a unique opportunity to take in the sights, sounds, and spirit of a medieval English battle.

*Note: loud cannon/gun noises at these events
