Events at this location

Discover more about military history through the ages as it is brought to life by Kentwell’s expert living historians.  This interesting event illustrates the everyday lives of those involved with conflict and the lives  of those on the home front, over several periods of history.

The House itself will not be open – the history will be spread out among our 30 acres of gardens and grounds, in separate ‘time bubbles’.  Kentwell’s Gardens are extensive and provide quiet space for comfortable relaxation in beautiful surroundings.  Visitors should have little problem in keeping socially distant from others!

The event this year will be different in format from our previous War Weekends, due to current restrictions and regulations.  However, the Ministry for Information can confirm that it will still be an interesting and informative day out for the whole family! 

This year, we have Vikings, Tudor Archers, a Regency Recruiting Party and attendant surgeon, an Edwardian hospital, WWI Army, 1919 Hospital Supplies ladies, WWII Home Guard and Suffolk Regiment and the 1960s Peace Camp, all spread out around the gardens and grounds for you to enjoy.
