Medieval Siege at Arundel Castle
I love that Arundel Castle is nearby and that they have events like this. It’s not all gardens, crumbling spiral stairways and history. They had cannons firing and archers taking turns to let fly volleys of arrows above the combatants.
Audience participation is important too, as we were divided into English and French to cheer on the opposing sides. Great fun!

Nice photos! It’s hard to explain how intense live, sword fighting with real armour and blows are to people that havn’t seen it first hand. Those Gifs capture it!
I first saw battle reenactment at Herstmonceux Castle with Andy Kybett. Extremely fun weekend.

It was pretty awesome Tom Woodland I also highly recommend the jousting tournaments they have at Arundel as well.
