Unique event featuring all that is most colourful in the re-creation of the Napoleonic Era, when Europe from Portugal to Russia was dominated by the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Regiments of the British and French armies are encamped, performing drills and displays and fighting skirmishes - Sharpe's Rifles before your very eyes and ears (black powder rifles are surprisingly loud!)

Indoors, there are war games demonstrations, a costume exhibition, specialist trade stands, tour guides, and booksellers, a bar, and quality catering.

Great day out for anyone who ever enjoyed Sharpe's Rifles, Pride and Prejudice,etc., and a lovely setting with the oldest medieval barns in Europe.
