Battle of Wodensfield re-enactment event 2016

Wednesfield History Society is proud to present the 2016 “Battle of Wodensfield re-enactment event” on Saturday 6th August from 11:30am – 4:30pm at Wednesfield High School.

The Society has been able to secure funding for the event (which is in it’s second year) from the Big Lottery’s ‘Awards For All’ funding programme which means a bigger, better battle this year!

Highlights include:

• Re-enactment events with 50+ fighters at 12:30pm and 2:30pm
• Inflatable Fun Fair (with purchase of wristband)
• Saxon Village experience
• Face Painting
• Community & Craft Stalls
• Hog Roast & refreshments
• Mini soccer tournament
• Raffle and much more!

The event will be opened by Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Barry Findlay.

Entry to this year’s event will be £1 per person on the gate and wristbands for the inflatable fun fair will be available for £5 which will allow unlimited access to all rides.

James Clarke Co-founder of WV11.co.uk. I live in Wednesfield and am involved in various community groups and associations. I build websites and develop digital marketing strategies for a living. When not writing for WV11 or attending meetings I play drums in my band Arbor Lights. I think Wednesfield is a great place, with a great sense of community and it isn't given the credit it deserves. Hopefully WV11.co.uk goes some way to fixing this!
