Discover more about military history through the ages as it is brought to life by Kentwell's expert living historians.  This interesting event illustrates the everyday lives of those involved with conflict and the lives  of those on the home front, over several periods of history.

The history will be spread out among our 30 acres of gardens and grounds, in separate 'time bubbles'.  Kentwell's Gardens are extensive and provide quiet space for comfortable relaxation in beautiful surroundings.  Visitors should have little problem in keeping socially distant from others!

The event this year will be different in format from our previous War Weekends, due to current restrictions and regulations.  However, the Ministry for Information can confirm that it will still be an interesting and informative day out for the whole family! 

An active, outdoor day out for explorers of all ages - a breath of fresh air for everyone!

We recommend you dress for the weather - our pathways can become a little muddy after prolonged rainy periods.  However, this is great news for our younger visitors, as it means there are puddles galore!

Please pre-book your visit (any time up to 10.30am on the day of your visit), so we can monitor numbers expected on site.  Also, if you pre-book, you get a discount of £2 per ticket!  Please arrive in good time to get the most out of your visit.  You are welcome to arrive at any time from opening time until our last entry at 2.00pm.  The event will close at 5pm.  If you are Season Ticket holders, or Historic Houses members, please also book your tickets on-line.
