Battle of Maldon 991 - WAITLIST IN OPERATION

Saturday 19th September 2026

Come and join the Battlefields Trust to explore this Anglo Saxon-Viking battle which took place in 991.

The walk will start at 10:30am at the Promenade Car Park, Park Drive, Maldon CM9 5JQ.

The walk will tour the battle site, cross the tidal causeway to Northey Island, and finish with a visit to the statue of Ealdorman Byrhtnoth on the promenade at Maldon. The visit will take 2-3 hours.

The walk is along uneven riverside paths, and access is via a tidal causeway which is uneven and slippery. Sturdy shoes are recommended, and it is unsuitable for wheelchair access. You are welcome to bring a picnic onto the island.

This is a Big Battlefield Walks Weekend event and is free to attend for all. Spaces are limited to 30 people and prebooking required at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/big-battlefield-walks-weekends-battle-of-maldon-991-tickets-1984770528078?aff=oddtdtcreator.
