Venue: All-Saints Hotel, Bury Saint Edmunds IP28 6JQ . 

Start at 1100. Congregate in the Hotel Reception. There is free car parking on site.

The two new Information Boards will be formally “launched”; there will be a few on-site speeches followed by coffee in the Portrait Room in the hotel.  Dr. Michael Walker author of the recently published “A Hard and Grievous Battle – The Siege of Haughley Castle and the Battle of Fornham 1173” will give a short presentation of the battle. Depending on the weather there will be a walk of the battle site.

In order to give us an idea on numbers for catering, please email Ian Wilson, Suffolk County Coordinator, on battlefieldstrustsuffolk@gmail.com

The event is free to Members.

The indoor part of the event and the refreshments are accessible for wheelchairs; however, the outside paths are likely to be potentially wet and less accessible.
