About the Venue

Dating back to the start of Britain, Battle Abbey was founded by William the Conquerer to memorialise the bloodshed of the Battle of Hastings. With views of the 1066 battlefield, the Abbot's Hall will host Julius Caesar with Francis William Wilkin’s painting ‘The Battle of Hastings’ as the backdrop to the stage.

Bowler Crab have toured productions to Battle since 2016. Today, performances primarily take place outside on the Six Penny Lawn with the hall as an indoor contingency plan in case of wet weather predictions. Julius Caesar will take place indoors inside the Abbot's Hall.
