Rochdale’s Medieval Revival

Author: The Daily News Now! June 7, 2026 Duration: 1:12

Rochdale’s medieval revival weekend brought history to life with archery, fighting re-enactments, and fashion shows—all sparked by last summer’s archaeological dig that uncovered pottery and a sword belt fitting. The dig revealed Rochdale was once a bustling medieval market town near the church, and thousands of locals joined in the fun, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It’s a vibrant celebration of the past, turning earthy discoveries into an unforgettable community experience.
