As night fell on 14th October 1066, thousands of men lay dead in a field. Some were English, some Norman, some Breton, or Belgian or Scot. None would ever again see their families, their land, or their dinner…

A performance event which remembered those who fell in the Battle of Hastings, and explored the impact of the Norman Conquest on British politics and our modern lives.

“Bloody fantastic night, an evening which stays with you for days” – Audience member
