Welcome to Festival of History

Don't miss the most exciting day out in history!

Each summer, over 1,000 re-enactors march out of history and into the heart of England at Kelmarsh Hall, Northamptonshire.

Festival of History is the UK’s largest historical event featuring a weekend full of clashing swords, thundering hooves, roaring cannons, screaming aeroplanes and have-a-go fun!  With more than 50 different shows each day Festival of History really does bring 2,000 years of England’s glorious history spectacularly to life.
