1066 Battle of Hastings, Abbey and Battlefield
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, over 500 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.
British Sign Language:
On both days we will be running British Sign Language battlefield tours delivered by Deaf Guide Peter Brown. We will also have BSL Interpreters on site both days, starting with a meet and greet at the gatehouse entrance between 10 - 11am.
