Looking for an exciting adventure this October half-term? History lovers and families alike can dive into the medieval world at Arundel Castle’s Characters Through History Days, happening on Wednesday 30th and Thursday 31st October. It’s the final event of 2024, and you won’t want to miss it!
Step back to the 12th century and experience life during the first two sieges of the castle. You’ll get to meet fascinating characters from the past—crusaders, knights, and archers—who will share their epic stories and give you a peek into medieval life.
But that’s not all! Meet a falconer and his stunning birds of prey, listen to thrilling tales from a storyteller, and enjoy lively medieval tunes performed by the roaming musicians, Myal and Peg. You can also explore the castle’s moat and watch craft and weapon demonstrations that bring history to life. Feeling brave? Kids over eight can even have a go at archery!
Need a break? Grab a bite at the castle’s café, coffee shop, or tea terrace, or bring a picnic and enjoy it in the scenic grounds.
It’s a perfect way to keep the family entertained during half-term, all while soaking up some incredible history! Tickets start from £15 for adults and £7 for kids, with under-5s going free. Get yours at www.arundelcastle.org and prepare for an unforgettable medieval adventure!
