Invitation to BT Members from the Guild of Battlefield Guides to their 'Core Weekend'

Friday 23rd October to Sunday 25th October 2026

Based in Warwick, the weekend is designed for Guides especially those working for their badge, but is likely be of interest to BT Members wanting  to guide, lead walks or improve their skills.

The programme includes an optional guided tour of Kenilworth Castle on the Friday afternoon.

On Saturday members of the Guild will be presenting on various battles as part of their “validation” (exam) process and there will also be an opportunity (own arrangements/cost) to visit Warwick Castle & St Mary’s Warwick (including the famous Beauchamp Chantry).

On Saturday afternoon there is a guided tour of the Fusilier Museum Warwick and on Sunday an interactive group exercise at Kenilworth Castle based on planning a battlefield tour (of the 1266 siege), followed by a guided tour of the Queens Royal Hussars Museum, finishing by 1600.

In addition, there will be joint suppers, a quiz etc.

The cost of the w/e is dependent on numbers attending but will be £30 or less per head, plus meals, drinks etc.

Accommodation under own arrangements (list of some possible options available on request).
