Festival of History 2012: Early Bird Tickets

I just received a note from English Heritage that early bird tickets are now available for the Festival of History 2012. The Festival of History is EH's flagship event, an annual 2-day extravaganza of heritage. The festival is held this year, as in previous years, at Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire.

The Festival will feature over 2000 historical re-enactors, plus historical interpreters in period costume. There are live shows and interactive opportunities to experience our heritage close-up. Among the live shows for 2012 is a re-enactment of the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and the last battle of the War of the Roses. There is a World War I trench and an appearance by the Roman army. You can put your feet up on the Victorian Beach, and attend lectures in the Festival of Historical Writing.

Dates and Times
When: Saturday, 14 July and Sunday 15 July
Where: Kelmarsh Hall, 10 miles north of Northampton
Time: 9:30am-6pm

If you are planning on attending, it might be a good idea to act now, as early bird prices are only available until 30 April.
