What's on in Battle

Battle has a year-round calendar of friendly, inclusive events. October plays host to the month-long Battle Festival, bringing internationally acclaimed artists and musicians to the town and showcasing local talent.

Battle Abbey runs events throughout the year, with the biggest being the re-enactment of the great battle on its anniversary in October. Hundreds of re-enactors bring the battlefield to life - and death - for the weekend.

November is host to a spectacular bonfire parade, featuring the world's oldest Guy Fawkes, who resides for the rest of the year at Battle Museum.

If you want to sit and listen or watch, you’re welcome. If want to get stuck in creatively, be our guest. There’s plenty on offer here to encourage, motivate and enjoy — courses, workshops, festivals and events.
