See Battle Abbey in a whole new light.

As you explore, be transported back to the era of Normans and Saxons, where legendary moments come alive in a dazzling display of light. With a festive welcome and wintery sparkle throughout, this enchanting experience combines the magic of Christmas and the drama of one of England's most iconic battles. Perfect for families and history lovers alike.

We’ll also be serving up a wide range of culinary delights. Warm up with a hot chocolate or, for the grown ups, grab a glass of mulled cider or wine. Afterwards, treat yourself to something to eat in our café or out by the lights. For those with a sweet tooth, we have open fire toasting of marshmallows, delicious custard and crumble and traditional Saxon and Norman cakes on offer as well. The shop will also be open for those of you who want to do some Christmas shopping.
