About This Event

The Bosworth Medieval Festival 2024 is set to return to the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre on August 22 and 23. This two-day event will once again offer visitors an immersive exploration of medieval life through re-enactments of battle scenes from the Wars of the Roses, culminating in a spectacular recreation of the iconic Battle of Bosworth. The festival, which attracts thousands of enthusiasts each year, promises to deliver a rich array of lively displays and activities. Spanning two days, it provides an engaging experience that brings the medieval era to life, ensuring a memorable visit for all attendees.

This two-day event attracts thousands of visitors, re-enactors and traders from across the UK.

The event features battle re-enactments by the combined forces of the Wars of the Roses Federation, including The Battle of Bosworth as the finale on both days. In addition there is always a busy programme of other displays in the event arena.
