The Society will have a stall at Evesham’s Christmas Artisan Market, which will be held on 22 and 23 November. We will be joining historical themed and modern traders selling a wide range of interesting and unusual food, drink and gifts. The Churchyard of All Saints and St Lawrence’s will be lit up, providing a real feel of a medieval fayre.
This is the Society’s annual popular one-day Day School which features a number of lectures by leading academics, living history and re-enactment. More details will be posted later.
The fee includes refreshments and lunch.
This year is the 760th anniversary of the Battle of Evesham so the normal Battle Festival will be extended to provide a range of activities over 3 days (1 – 3 August) starting with:
Days 2 and 3 will cover our award winning Medieval Festival and Battle Re-enactments. In addition, there will our first War Game Festival in Evesham: “Baron’s War 2025”
Evesham’s annual medieval market will boast fascinating and unique stalls, live entertainment, re-enactment and food and drink. The Society stall is usually based in St Lawrence’s Church.
It is a two day event starting at 10 am on Saturday 17 May (end 5 pm) and Sunday (10 am to 4 pm).
The organisers are the Evesham Battle Team ( who are members of our Society).
Was there a prototype outlaw for our modern Robin Hood? If there were, was he at the Battle of Evesham?
The lecture will be delivered through Zoom.
A Zoom only meeting featuring an examination of the contrast between life in the medieval hall and the chivalry ideal of life.
Most of the Society’s lectures are in person but because of the likely inclement weather at this time of year the lectures will be given remotely until the spring.
Today visitors can explore Montgomery’s history and heritage, visit the old Bell Museum and climb the ruined battlements of Montgomery Castle. We will have an opportunity to examine the very latest findings from the archaeological studies taking place at Montgomery Castle.
We will also be exploring the Pilleth Battlefield (also known as the Battle of Bryn Glas) fought between the Welsh and the English on June 22 1402.
We will have expert guidance from the Battlefields Trust.
