Medieval Easter at The Royal Armouries
It’s going to be an action-packed Easter holiday at the museum, with combat demonstrations and themed activities, plus you can explore the amazing national collection of arms and armour.
Every day there will be a selection of live performances including talks, combat demonstrations and storytelling. From learning about the thrills of jousting to watching our knights duel in a medieval pollaxe fight, history is brought to life at the Royal Armouries.
Open every day of the Easter holidays, admission to the museum is free, and there’ll be plenty of performances and combat demonstrations to keep the whole family entertained.
Activities will run from Saturday 28 March to Thursday 2 April and from Tuesday 7 to Sunday 19 April.
