Arbroath Heritage

Our Next Event

2008-10-18T02:49:00.001-07:00

Arbroath Heritage are delighted to announce an ambitious one day event for the 4th July 2009 which will celebrate the rich history of Arbroath and Angus.

The day will begin with a multi period living history camp, which currently stretches from the Roman period to the Napoleonic wars. This will be supported by a fish and farmers market which is always popular.

In the early evening, there will be a procession of re-enactors, through the town to Arbroath Abbey where we will have a play on the history of the area and the story of the founding of the abbey. This will be opened by the Provost of Angus.

Later at night, there will be a torchlit procession and Viking boat burning.

The event is already shaping up to be extremely substantial, and marketing will include TV and print media advertising, as well as leaflets which will be distributed around tourist information centres, hotels and similar venues.

Arbroath Heritage has an enviable reputation for hosting events of this type and we are delighted that Aberdeen based group Medieval Realm have agreed to be the lead re-enactment group.

We would like to encourage re-enactors of all periods to come and join us for what will be a spectacular day.

Authentic period traders are being offered a free pitch if they would to trade.

Who We Are

2008-10-14T02:11:00.000-07:00

We are a local organisation that seeks to celebrate Arbroath and Scotland's rich history by putting together historically themed events.

In the past, we have organised Medieval Faires, Markets, hugely succesful Viking Raids and a specially written play on the founding of Arbroath Abbey, all of these events have had strong community involvement. We have also taken part in Tartan Day events in Aberdeen and Arbroath.

We are delighted to have worked with organisations such as the Sea Cadets, The Princes Trust, Angus Council and several excellent re-enactment groups. In the past we have been fortunate to receive funding from the National Lottery, Angus Council and of course many local bussinesses.
