Battle of Evesham Festival 2025 – 760th Anniversary Festival

FREE TO ENTER (suggested donation £2 each)
Come and enjoy a spectacular weekend of medieval action and education in the heart of Evesham and next to the Avon, a riverside Market Town on the edge of the Cotswolds with a big part to play in history.

Including are full-on battle re-enactments, Living History camp displays, trade stalls catering for medieval and modern tastes, beer tent and a Grand Parade through the streets of Evesham.
The festival commemorates the defeat of Simon de Montfort in 1265, but celebrates the survival of his ‘Representative Parliament’ now we call this the House of Commons.
5,000 men died on Greenhill and in the streets of Evesham, either defending the Magna Carta or the restoration of the Monarchy, leading to the greatest shift in land ownership since the Norman Invasion.
