What a lovely place to visit and learn about the history at the time of the Battle

What a lovely place to view. Nestled in the countryside just outside lovely Market Bosworth. Good parking, cafe , toilet, and gift shop facilities.
We did the guided walking tour with Katie which was very good and highly recommended. She was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and kept everyone’s interest for the whole age group range. We learned a lot about the historical importance of the battle and the country’s history at that time.

Girls Day Out

We spent a fantastic couple of hours here, the guided tour was absolutely brilliant and only £4 per person, worth every penny. Elizabeth our tour guide, made it so much fun, right down to letting us carry flags and test out the weight of the weapons! The food in the cafe was delicious and great value, really good coffee too.

A Truly Magical Experience

The staff in the restaurant and Visitor Centre were so friendly and helpful it made the most memorable family day with our granddaughter. All the staff were so engaged and welcoming, even organising their all terrain mobility scooter at short notice enabling a magical trip around the 1.5mile Battlefield tour – can’t thank them enough.

Half term event feedback

We attended the Roman event during half term. It was well organised and enjoyable. The main actress was completely in role, knowledgeable and engaging. We’ve taken part in many events at Bosworth Battlefield and they’ve all been entertaining and fun?
