About this event

History Alive brings two days of living history to the Ipswich Showgrounds, with battle re-enactments spanning Roman, Viking, Medieval, Napoleonic, Colonial, Victorian and Modern eras. Expect encampments, workshops, live music and festive dance across the grounds. It's pitched as a family day out, though the scale of the programme — Crusader Knights, Napoleonic cavalry, WWI combatants — suggests plenty to explore beyond the usual showgrounds fare.
