Bowlore Medieval at The Bishop's Palace

23rd – 25th August 2025
9.30am – 5.30pm

Set within the majestic ruins of the Great Hall and our RHS partner gardens, visitors can step back in time on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th August to experience live displays of medieval weaponry, re-enactments, and expert demonstrations throughout the day.

Expect to see longbows, pallaxes, dane hammers, alchions and langmessers in action, as Bowlore's skilled performers showcase their knowledge of historical arms in dynamic, choreographed combat scenes.

You'll also have the chance to explore The Black Dog, Bowlore's fascinating weapons and armour tent, where you can handle replicas and learn more about life in medieval times. Friendly Bowlore team members will be on hand to answer your questions and share their passion for the past.

Entry to Bowlore Medieval is included with general admission to The Bishop's Palace and Gardens, including the Annual Pass, Day Ticket, Joint Ticket with Wells Cathedral, and Friends of the Palace membership.
