Open to the Public -- Return with us to Bosworth Field, where the Lancastrians and the Yorkists decided the fate of the Crown of England! While war rages, there is also the arts, crafts, sciences, and activities common to the Middle Ages. From miles around, people come to fight, to trade, and to engage in the activities and festivities. A wonderful time is guaranteed for all!
