Battle of Shrewsbury Anniversary Weekend

The Battle of Shrewsbury Anniversary Weekend…
Over the anniversary week of the Battle of Shrewsbury, we travel back to medieval Shropshire to see the sights and sounds of every life leading up to the battle.
During this great family day out you will get to see knights in armour and archers preparing for battle, living history including traditional crafts and cookery. With many activities to try your hand at throughout the day and many skills that can be used today.
There will be a historical market area selling all manners of wares, plus local crafts, organisations and much more.
Each day take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the full medieval fighting experience when the two armies make their way to the battlefield. Take sides of the rebellious army from Northumberland led by ‘Harry Hotspur’ or join the forces of King Henry himself!

"🏰✨ Dive into the heart of Shrewsbury's Castle Quarter – the epicenter of history and grandeur! 🏰 Home to four of the town's largest historic treasures – Shrewsbury Castle, Library, Prison, and Train Station. 

Did you know Shrewsbury Castle's foundations were laid in 1083 by the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery? 
Montgomery, a cousin of William the Conqueror, earned this castle and more as a thank-you for his aid during the Norman conquest.

From royal stronghold to a 16th-century transformation, Shrewsbury Castle has quite the story. Now, it stands majestically, housing the Shropshire Regimental Museum. 👑🏰 Ready to step into the pages of history?
