Tattoo at the Castle

About

The ABF - The Soldiers Charity is the National Charity of the British Army. It supports soldiers, veterans, and their families for life when they are in need and has been doing so since 1944. The Charity makes grants to individuals, and to a wide range of specialist charities who provide support for the Army.


On Sunday 7th July The Charity is staging a Tattoo at the Castle set against the stunning backdrop of Herstmonceux Castle that will include an open-air military band concert followed by a Beating Retreat. This is a military ceremony dating from the 16th century and will be performed by the Band of The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (the county infantry Regiment) together with The Pipes and Drums of the London Scottish Regiment.


Gates open at 5.30 PM and the performance starts at 7pm. You are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy as you watch this entertaining spectacle in aid of a very worthy cause.


There will be a licensed bar (beer and soft drinks) courtesy of Harvey's Brewery, Lewes.
