SUITABLE FOREveryone
960 years since the Battle of Hastings took place, the one and only re-enactment returns.
On the very spot where King Harold and Duke William fought in 1066, hundreds of reenactors will recreate the drama and intensity of this legendary conflict. Hear the rush of hooves and see arrows fly as Saxon and Norman soldiers battle it out.
Visit the armies’ living history camps to get a taste of life in 1066, and see majestic birds fly overhead in displays from expert falconers.
Be entertained by Battle’s Jester, hear the tale of the Bayeux Tapestry performed and enjoy traditional music as you explore. Young knights can test their skills at sword school and join in with their own recreation of the battle.

The best way to get to the Battle of Hastings event is by public transport. There is a regular train service with good connections to Hastings, Kent and London, and the site is a short walk (10-15 mins) from Battle Station. Special event parking is available on Powdermill Lane on a first come first served basis. Blue Badge Parking is in the normal Abbey Car Park. Other car parks are available in Battle. If arriving by train, please make sure you access the site via the normal gatehouse entrance, as Powdermill Lane will be busy and there is no pavement.
