Sound the fanfare and grab your knightly shield as Canterbury’s Medieval Family Trail returns on Saturday 4 July 2026. This year’s pageant puts a spotlight on Canterbury's links to the famous Bayeux Tapestry!
Brush off your quills and join us for a day of tales, trails, and merriment in our medieval city. Meet colourful characters, peaceful pilgrims and explore 20 trail stops, each with plenty of tales to tell.
Embark on the Family Trail, brimming with interactive stops. Collect and decorate a pilgrim badge, take a vow with the visiting medieval royal household, watch knights battle, meet squires, weavers, blacksmiths, millers, writers, bakers and more. You can even visit England’s oldest toilet (although you can’t use it!).
Was the Bayeux Tapestry made in Canterbury? How long does it take to sew 70 meters? And what sort fighting took place at the Battle of Hastings?? Join the Medieval Trail on the 4th July and discover the answer to all of these questions and more! You can even help create a new Canterbury Tapestry!
