Event details

All day ticket entry from 10am Monday to Saturday (last admission 4pm) and from 10am on a Sunday (last admission 3pm).

A king will fall, a saint will rise…

According to legend, in 869AD, King Edmund met the ‘Great Heathen Army’ in battle, was defeated, and brutally martyred. His cult would spread across Christendom in the centuries that followed and he would become England’s Patron Saint.

In death, Edmund’s spirit would be credited with healings, comfort, protection, and enforcing justice upon criminals and rulers. His name and relics would inspire political endeavours and combat. The Kings that followed would fear his spectral wrath.

This summer at Moyse’s Hall we will celebrate Edmund in life and in death like never before. Through academic partnership, we will meet Edmund in his 9th Century world, before exploring the rise and fall of his cult.

Daily family trails around the museum.
