This year is the 760th anniversary of the Battle of Evesham so the normal Battle Festival will be extended to provide a range of activities over 3 days (1 – 3 August) starting with:
Day 1/Friday when jousting and tournaments will be held on Crown Meadow
Days 2 and 3 will cover our award winning Medieval Festival and Battle Re-enactments in the meadows in Evesham
In addition, there will our first War Game Festival in Evesham: “Baron’s War 2025” in Wallace House, Oat Street, Evesham
Carmel Langridge, the Chair of Evesham’s Historical Society, will be sharing her vast knowledge of Evesham from the earliest times.
When a medieval army marched in hostile territory, they fortified their camps where they stayed overnight. At this event, Will Parry, of the House of the Twin Tailed Lions, will transport us into those times.
This is the Society’s Christmas get together at a popular hostelry or retreat. Good food, drink and company to start the seasonal festivities.
Evesham’s first Wargames Festival to help commemorate the 760th anniversary of the Battle of Evesham. Demonstration and participation games from Ancients to the Age of Napoleon, and more, with a Bring & Buy Sale, refreshments and a chance to meet like minded friends.
This will be held at Wallace House Community Centre, Oat Street, Evesham.

Today visitors can explore Montgomery’s history and heritage, visit the old Bell Museum and climb the ruined battlements of Montgomery Castle. We will have an opportunity to examine the very latest findings from the archaeological studies taking place at Montgomery Castle.
We will also be exploring the Pilleth Battlefield (also known as the Battle of Bryn Glas) fought between the Welsh and the English on June 22 1402.
We will have expert guidance from the Battlefields Trust.
