About

King Harold Day, Waltham Abbey Church

King Harold Day returns to Waltham Abbey and will take place this year in the grounds adjacent to the Church. Also new this year will be a very special performance of "The Falcon's Flight", which tells a local historical story inspired by Princess Gytha, the daughter of King Harold, who was forced to become a pawn in a high-stakes game of royal ties following the death of her father at the Battle of Hastings. (The play was originally performed at High Beech as part of the 2018 Loughton Festival).

The Falcon's Flight will be performed at 11am and then again at 2pm.

A ceremony commemorating King Harold will take place at noon.

There will be a selection of the usual stalls.

Although there is no entry fee this year, a donation instead will be gratefully recieved and enable this annual event to continue.
