Houghton Regis Heritage Day - Medieval Festival
Houghton Hall Park, Park Road North, Houghton Regis, Dunstable, Bedfordshire, LU5 5FU
Step into history by conversing with reenactors from across the medieval period, listening to historical talks, and watching demonstrations of what life was like in the past. There will even be chances for the kids to have a go at being medieval warriors!
We will be joined by The Vikings, Rebellion Reenactment, Knights of Honour, and DevilStick Peat. As well as Houghton Regis Heritage Society, the Friends of Houghton Hall Park, and All Saints Church History Group.
Houghton Hall Park was awarded the Green Flag Award in 2025 and continues to take part in Anglia in Bloom, winning several awards over the years.
The event will start at 10am and run through to 3pm in the grounds next to the Visitors' Centre. Tickets are not required.
