Arundel Castle to celebrate Magna Carta

ARUNDEL CASTLE in West Sussex is inviting visitors to turn back the clock this October half term, and experience 13th century life as part of its Normans and Crusaders in the Keep event (October 28-29).  

Visitors will be taken back to 1215, the year of #MagnaCarta, when England was ruled by King John, and when #ArundelCastle was one of few Royalist strongholds.

Norman knights, archers, and servants, will be brought to life by performers from the Raven Tor Living History Group, with each character telling stories of life in the 1200s.

There will also be combat and archery demonstrations, and the opportunity for master the ancient crafts of braiding and weaving.

Castle manager Bryan McDonald said: ‘As this year is the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, it seems apt that our final event of the season takes us back to 1215.’
