Magna Carta Memorial

About

Saturday 15 - Sunday  16 June.  

Join us to celebrate the anniversary of Magna Carta with a two-day family event at the site where this historic charter was sealed over 800 years ago.

Within our Medieval Encampment, you’ll find family games, crafts, and activities exploring the very special history and significance of this 
floodplain meadow. Have a go at digging up some archaeology finds, take a guided tour with our Habitat Monitors, then rest and refuel at the Magna Carta Tearoom.
