Guy of Warwick Day 2026
Guys Cliffe House, Warwick, CV34 5YD
Sunday 6th September 2026
Guy of Warwick Day
England's forgotten hero returns to the cliffside that bears his name. Guy of Warwick slew the terrible Dun Cow of Dunsmore, bested the giant Colbrand, and travelled the length of Europe to prove himself — only to come home in secret, as a humble pilgrim, and live out his final days in the hermitage above the Avon.
Join us at Guys Cliffe House on Sunday 6 September for a family day exploring the real place behind the legend. Guyded Tours take you through the house ruins and grounds, the Chapel of St Mary Magdalene — home to the stone statue of Guy himself — and Guy's Cave, said to be his last refuge. There's an exhibition and Audio-Visual show telling Guy's story, plus music, games, a performance from the irrepressible Slaughterhouse Players, hot and cold refreshments and a licensed bar.
The event runs 10.30am–4.30pm. Proceeds support the volunteer-led Bring Back Guys Cliffe project and the Society's ongoing work to preserve and interpret this remarkable site.
Tickets: £5 per adult, under-16s free (accompanied). Parking £2 donation per vehicle, pre-booking recommended — site capacity is limited, so advance tickets are advised.
