Forget the 21^st century and go back to medieval times for an action-packed day of battles, parades and contests at historic Appuldurcombe House on the Isle of Wight.  Scheduled to coincide with the start of the school holidays, on Sunday 29^th July Appuldurcombe is staging a Medieval Spectacular in its extensive grounds near the Island’s south coast – and a family of four can use a Wightlink attraction and travel-inclusive Days Out ticket to get there for just £51 – or £12.75 each (0870 582 7744/www.wightlink.co.uk.)

Rightly termed a ‘spectacular’, 120 car loads of Medieval Siege Society enthusiasts from all over the UK will converge on Appuldurcombe to re-enact a series of costumed battles and victory parades – with a magnificent final battle to watch in the afternoon.  In addition there will be bow & arrow competitions and falconry displays to watch. 

The entertainment kicks off at 10am and runs until 4pm and visitors can get there using the Wightlink car ferries running half hourly between Portsmouth and Fishbourne or Lymington and Yarmouth.
