A castle will be hosting an event this half term that allows visitors to step back into the 12th century. Arundel Castle’s Characters Through History Days will take place on October 30 and 31. People can go back to the first two sieges at the castle and meet remarkable characters from its past, including crusaders, knights and archers.
Tickets start at £15 for adults and are available at www.arundelcastle.org .
Children under five can enter free. People can also meet a falconer, listen to tall tales from a storyteller, enjoy medieval tunes by musicians Myal and Peg, or take a tour of the castle’s moat. Andrew Lewis, castle manager, said: “Our Characters Through History Days are a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to step back in time with a particular focus on the vibrant world of the 12th century Norman period.
“From the engaging historical characters to the interactive activities, this event offers an unforgettable journey into the past – it’s a truly unique way to keep the whole family entertained during the October half-term.”.
