Set against the backdrop of Wightwick Manor, a site believed to be within the original battlefield landscape, this is a rare opportunity to experience history in the very place it may have happened. Perfect for families, history lovers and curious minds, it’s a chance to explore the Anglo-Saxon world like never before.
