Travel direct from London Victoria to the Battle of Hastings re-enactment weekend 

Taking place on 10 and 11 October, the Battle of Hastings re-enactment weekend brings history to life with spectacular battle displays, living history camps and family-friendly entertainment. The story of 1066 is woven through many of the communities we serve, from Battle, where the famous battle took place, to Hastings on the Sussex coast.
