An unforgettable Viking festival for the whole family – with a twist!
Step back in time to the heart of the Kingdom of Mercia, where peace is fleeting and the clash of swords echoes through the land. Will you stand with the fearless Vikings, or fight to defend Mercia’s honour?
Join us at Bishton Hall for a weekend of immersive history, interactive experiences, and family fun. This year’s festival promises to be bigger and bolder than ever – featuring returning favourites, live combat displays, archery, axe throwing, and hands-on Viking crafts - and of course - a bar stocked with our very own ROXBE Mead!!
Explore traditional artisan stalls, savour delicious food and drink, and discover how the Vikings lived, fought, cooked and crafted through engaging demonstrations. Whether you’re a history buff, a curious child, or simply looking for a great day out – the Battle for Mercia is an event not to be missed.
Family-friendly. Educational. Wildly entertaining.
