History In The Park

About

Join us for a fun-filled history weekend at Wrest Park! Step back in time and discover history firsthand. Enjoy family-friendly activities set in multiple time periods, live music, and storytelling.

Meet Lady Cowper and her staff as they celebrate in style with a 'Pageants of Kings and Queens', featuring Charles II, Edward IV, Boudica, Richard the Lionheart and Elizabeth I and their impressive horseback skills. Then pick your knight, Sir Lancelot or The Wyvern, and witness an epic spectacle as they compete in a thrilling test of skill and strength in our joust!

Throughout the day there will also be live Victorian music from Green Matthews, a chance to meet the monarchs and their horses, and our town jester on hand for fun and games.
