'A Grand Medieval Day Out' is set to return to Kenilworth Castle this Early May Bank Holiday.

Taking place on Sunday 5 and Monday 6 May 2024, this event will bring together troupes of reenactors – including tradespeople, knights, and musicians – in a living history village within the grounds of the 900-year-old castle.

Live arena shows will take place through the day alongside musical accompaniment from the Middle Ages played by costumed musicians and a daring court jester delighting audiences with his tomfoolery.

Ella Harrison, events manager at English Heritage said: "We love kicking off the events season here at Kenilworth Castle because it's such an impressive and historically significant backdrop for re-enactments.

"It's real a joy to see visitors of all ages captivated by the sights and sounds of the medieval period around them.

"We hope that you leave both enthralled and having learnt a bit about what life was like at Kenilworth Castle in centuries past."

A shuttle bus service will also be running to and from Kenilworth town centre during the event days.
