In August 1645 Royalist forces commanded by King Charles I took Huntingdon after a short skirmish on the north side of the town and occupied it for 2 days, plundering the town. 

As part of the Huntingdonshire History Festival join the Sealed Knot for a weekend event at Castle Hills recreating these events, immersing yourself in life 380 years ago. Explore the living history encampments, meet various of our costumed characters, take part in 'have a go' sessions (from soldier's drill to 17th century school lessons).

The event is open 10am - 4pm both Saturday and Sunday, admission is free of charge. Please be aware that Castle Hills Park is an archaeological site; as such the ground is uneven and appropriate footwear is advised.

A timetable for each day will be posted here in the week prior to the event. 

Part of the 2025 Huntingdonshire History Festival.
