A medieval festival involving axe throwing falconry is set to take place over the Easter weekend.

The festival, being hosted in Arundel Castle, will see battle re-enactments as well as combat displays and craft tents descend on the historic town.

Aimed at families of all ages, the event will help visitors step back to the 12th century and “witness history come to life”.
