Today I go to Battle to visit English Heritages 1066 Battle of Hastings Re-enactment. With over 300 Saxon and Norman re-enactors its a fairly large event.
Absolute legends on both Saxon and Norman sides, everyone very friendly and an absolutely English day out that you have to go to at least once.
The whole site is used with other activities which makes it fun for the whole family.
There is a family area for fun and games with children next to the Sounds of Time playing their music (For obvious reasons I haven’t recorded this).
Cheer for your Champion, Kulvar we will remember you!
