Medieval battle reenactment during England's Medieval Festival at Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex.

For nearly three decades, the famous Medieval Festival at Herstmonceux Castle was organised and produced by the team behind England's Medieval Festival. First established in 1993, the event became one of the most recognised medieval heritage and living history festivals in the United Kingdom, attracting thousands of visitors every August Bank Holiday weekend.

Visitors travelled from across Britain and Europe to experience jousting tournaments, medieval battles, living history encampments, craftsmen and traders, music, theatre, and authentic medieval entertainment set within the historic grounds of Herstmonceux Castle.

The original England's Medieval Festival now continues at its new home at EMF - King's Grove at Pippingford Park, where visitors can still experience the jousting tournaments, medieval battles, living history encampments, and heritage traditions that made the Herstmonceux event famous.

Today the festival continues with the same organisers, performers, reenactment groups, traders, and traditions that visitors have enjoyed for decades.
