Normans and Crusaders – Easter

Set in 1190, Richard the Lionheart, King of England, has embarked on the Third Crusade and has called upon his subjects to set forth and join him. Arundel Castle guards the road linking the Medieval ports of Shoreham, Pagham, and Portsmouth, as well as access to the sea via the River Arun. This makes the Castle a logical mustering point for men, supplies and equipment setting out for the Continent.

Set within a historical tented encampment, Raven Tor Living History Group will recreate the crafts, weapons training, and battle tactics of the period. With the Distant Trumpets Story Teller, falconry and archery demonstrations on offer to delight visitors, a weekend filled with the sights, sounds and smells of the late Norman Period, there will be plenty to entertain guests of all ages!
