History Alive is a great event for the whole family to experience 2 days of thrilling jousts, live music, festive dance, and intriguing displays. Immerse yourself in the histories and cultures of Roman, Viking, Medieval, Napoleonic, Colonial, Victorian and Modern Eras, and witness spectacular battle re-enactments of Crusader Knights, Napoleonic Cavalry, and combatants from WWI and WWII.

Chat with our wonderful re-enactors and learn to fence like a Renaissance Spaniard, enjoy Viking Cooking demonstrations, or cheer on your favourite knight at the lavish pageantry of the Medieval Tournament. There are stunning encampments to explore and interesting workshops to attend while children can give free rein to their creativity with daily Costume Competitions, Scavenger Hunts, and a wide variety of children’s immersive encampment activities.

Join us in August and enjoy the extraordinary sights, sounds, and aromas of times gone by at History Alive.
