Camp Under the Lanterns

Don’t just come for the day — stay and become part of the story.

When the battles are over and the crowds begin to leave, the History in Action Show takes on a whole new atmosphere. Stay with us overnight and experience the magic of the event after dark, with lantern-lit activities, storytelling, music and campfire gatherings bringing the site to life.
