Add WW1 Weekend at Bateman's to your Itinerary

WW1 reenactors marching with rifles past canvas tents on a grassy field during a historical weekend at Bateman’s.

About

Join us at Bateman's this summer for WWI Weekend, as Portals to the Past brings history to life with live re-enactments and demonstrations.

Throughout WWI Weekend, visitors can experience live re‑enactments, demonstrations, and hands‑on activities led by a team of uniformed interpreters. Get involved with artefact handling, including trying on period helmets and exploring equipment from the Great War, watch firepower demonstrations, take part in Kriegsspiel and join foot drill with the 10th Essex Regiment.

Children can test their skills at Scout School, while talks from the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry highlight the vital role of women at war.
