Magna Carta Weekend: 14-15 June

Join us to celebrate the anniversary of the Magna Carta with a two-day family event at the site where this historic charter was sealed over 800 years ago.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Meet us in the paddock, located by the map in the Memorials Car Park, where you’ll find family games, crafts, and activities exploring the very special history and significance of this floodplain meadow.

Have a go at digging up some archaeology finds, look out for the longbow and arrowhead display then test your hand eye coordination at archery, take a guided tour with our Habitat Monitors or learn more about the Jurors chairs with our Daymaker Volunteers. There is something for everyone this weekend.

Discover the history of Runnymede and Ankerwycke through the people who made it on our special 'People of Runnymede' trail and explore all the artworks and memorials created to mark the symbolic importance of this place.

Then sit on our newly landscaped areas around our Lutyens Lodges and enjoy a treat from the Magna Carta tearoom.
