The popular Normans and Crusaders event from April 15 to 17 takes people back to the Barons War, when unpopular King John battled with the barons over money and leadership.

Based on the American Lawns, beneath the oldest part of Arundel Castle, Raven Tor Living History Group will showcase 12th century crafts, weapons and combat, all set within a period-style encampment.

Visitors will have the chance to witness captivating archery shows and can test their own targeting skills with a new and free feature – have-a-go archery for the over eights.

The event will also feature falconry displays, ancient cookery demonstrations and a professional storyteller.

“From interactive craft sessions to live combat displays, have-a-go archery and a delicious hog roast, there really is something for everyone this Easter weekend.”
