‘Step Back in Time at Alfred Fest – A Celebration of History, Heritage & Community.
Get ready to journey through the ages as Alfredfest returns to Wantage for a weekend of rich history, engaging activities, and community spirit! Taking place in the heart of the town that gave us King Alfred the Great, this unique festival is your chance to explore Wantage’s fascinating past – and enjoy everything that makes it such a special place today.
Whether you’re captivated by Anglo-Saxon tales, curious about archaeology, or just looking for a great family day out, Alfredfest has something for everyone. Expect historical re-enactments, live talks from experts, traditional crafts, music, family-friendly activities, artisan markets, and even a special film screening.
Join us for a weekend where the past meets the present in true Wantage style.
A special thanks to our sponsors, Larkmead Vets, House of Spice and Golden Services Care for helping make this event possible.’
