Peterborough Heritage Festival
For 2012, the Peterborough Heritage Festival develops its own identity! Held in the historic heart of the city centre and the stunning surroundings of the Cathedral precincts, this is one of the city’s most popular events.
The main weekend over 23 & 24 June is a living history extravaganza for all to enjoy – unlike anything else in the city! The event also includes a Medieval market, craft fayre, live entertainment, armed forces week displays and much more.
New for 2012:
- Children’s Zone – an activity are for the kids with jesters, storytellers, games and activities
- Victorian travelling cabinet of curiosities – come face to face with a Mummy, hear the explorers tales or take a different view of Peterborough through a Camera Obscura
- A real Spitfire parked on the Cathedral green!
This year the festival has also broadened out to include ten days of talks, events, tours and activities with a Heritage theme – check out the links to the Related Events pages in the navigation to the left for more details…
