On Abbey Green at the heart of Battle, the Medieval Fayre is a two-day May bank-holiday celebration of all things medieval — fighting knights and fire eaters, a juggling jester, lacemakers, potters, a yarn-craft hut, and a Hands on History stand where you can try on armour and hear about medieval surgical techniques. The May Queen is crowned on Monday. Battle Cider, barbecue and a spit roast feed everyone in between.
Battle is a 30-minute drive from Rye, and the fayre sits a few yards from the 1066 battlefield at Battle Abbey itself — pair the two for a properly Sussex bank-holiday day out. Stay riverside at The River Haven, drive over for the day, and be back in Rye in time for dinner in town.
Stay at The River Haven
Battle is a 30-minute drive from Rye. Stay at The River Haven and pair the fayre with a visit to Battle Abbey itself — the 1066 battlefield is yards away.
