Daily interpretations are performed both in the Royal Armouries galleries and outside in the amphitheatre. They are chosen from over eighty scripts ranging from The Roman Legionary to the latest reports from Iraq.

Performances include storytelling for all ages, first person accounts based on original diaries and letters and thrilling foot combat.

Daily from 11am – 4.30pm

Up to seven different interpretations performed per day, check the daily sheet on arrival at the admission desk for times and location.

Admission to the interpretations is free.
