Annual Battle Marbles Match & Easter Bonnet Parade

Battle Abbey Green, Battle, East Sussex, TN33 0AD
Annual Battle Marbles Match & Easter Bonnet Parade

About

Local teams compete wearing fancy dress in this traditional annual competition dating back to 1945.  In the shadow of the mighty Battle Abbey, local pubs and clubs enter teams of 5 players and compete to win both the marbles and the fancy dress trophies.  Approximately 20 teams are expected to take part with ‘flick-off’ at 10am.  Entry in advance with an “all-comers board” for spectators of all ages. 

The children’s Easter Bonnet competition is at 11.30 and all children can join in the popular marbles scramble too!
