Basing House - The Sealed Knot Battle Re-enactment

Over the Easter (Sunday & Monday) weekend, The Sealed Knot will be performing their annual battle re-enactment on the Grounds of Basing House. So if your looking for some fresh spring air and a little excitement for the whole family over Easter why not make your way to Basing House on Sunday 1st or Monday 2nd of April for the battle display.

Additionally, our living history will be on display from 11:00 to 16:30 Saturday throughout the weekend.

This is the first of our 375 anniversary Basing House events. It’s 1643 Waller and the London Trained bands have entered the village of Basing. The house gates are locked, can the Royalist small garrison aided by their women prevent Waller’s force from storming the house walls? The Musketeers and Pikemen and their women will re-enact the events on the ground of this historic Hampshire battlefield.

On each day:

The Great barn, visitors center and our living History display will be open from 11:00 inside the main house gardens.

At around 14:00 the troops will assemble outside the Millstone Pub, Old Basing (RG24 8AE, or http://w3w.co/waving.tools.gladiators )

The Army will move on the Great Barn where a battle may just be about to start at 14:30

Then, follow the Armies into Basing House for the displays and main battle starting at around 15:00

Finally at around 16:00 the Armies (those still standing) will return to their camps
