Siege! At Raglan Castle

@ Raglan Castle Follow signs off the A40

Join us at Raglan Castle as we mark the anniversary of the last day the Castle was a magnificent home. The Siege of Raglan Castle ended on 19th August 1646, one of the longest of the English Civil War. To mark our Anniversary we invite you to join us to experience the world in the 17th century. Mistress Grotte the wisewoman will be here with her spells and charms, but whatever you do don't call her a Witch! Minstrel Tom will be here playing his music and he will also be looking for army recruits too, putting you through your pike drill paces. There will be activities and trails for the kids. At 2pm, join our procession into the Great Hall as we lay a floral tribute in remembrance of the people of 1646.
