Napoleonic Weekend living history event comes to Hole Park in Rolvenden

Hole Park will be in the grip of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte this weekend as history is relived.

The Napoleonic Weekend at Hole Park in Rolvenden is one of the biggest Napoleonic re-enactment events in Kent and this year will be on Saturday, September 1 and Sunday, September 2.

The living history event takes visitors back to the days when Napoleon was plotting to invade - via Kent.
