  • To mark the anniversary of the Battle of Lewes, we’re offering a special 2-for-1 entry to Lewes Castle and Anne of Cleves House – the cheapest ticket is free! No need to pre-book, but if you do, just book for the number of paying guests and we’ll issue the free tickets upon arrival. Valid on 10th & 11th May only. 

This special offer is part of Lewes’ town-wide celebrations commemorating one of the most pivotal moments in English history. On 14 May 1264, Simon de Montfort led rebel barons in a dramatic clash against King Henry III right here in Lewes. The battle not only shook the monarchy but also laid early foundations for parliamentary democracy in England.

This year, Lewes will come alive with reenactments, living history displays, medieval markets, talks, and more. It’s the perfect time to explore the castle, enjoy the festivities, and immerse yourself in the rich heritage of the town.

Don’t miss this chance to step back in time during this historic celebration!
