About

See Battle Abbey in a whole new light this festive season.

This December, see Battle Abbey and the 1066 story brought to life by a dazzling array of illuminations and characters from the past.

Follow the trail through the ruins and across the grounds as lights and sounds carry you back to winter 1066. Discover how events unfolded after the battle as you thread your way through ancient architecture, peep into the shadows and take in the luminous displays.
