Conquest Tours and Tales at Battle Abbey

1066: everyone knows this date, but why was it so important? Meet an Anglo-Saxon story-teller and hear tales of Norman power and English rebellion. Re-enact the battle on the battlefield, and learn how the dramatic events of 14 October 1066 had such an impact on England. Part of the session will take place outside, so please dress appropriately. Replica medieval weapons will be for viewing only and will be handled by the Discovery Visit leader. Students might like to make and bring their own cardboard shields with them for the battle.
