The town gets its name from a Saxon of 7th century which clearly tells the mammoth historical heritage it carries. The enriched history of a town is not an unusual thing in the English lands and this town reflects this fact. Take for instance Tewkesbury Abbey, which always offer novelty even if you visit several times. Apart from dazzling architecture the most interesting part is the text that is carved on the walls.
Your instincts can be the best guide when it comes for tracing these amazing texts spread all across the Abbey. The most suitable time to visit the monumental building is in the morning as you can witness the mesmerizing flow of sunlight throughout the corridors and rooms. This is made possible because of the amazing architectural techniques used in the design that spreads the sunlight into all corners.
The town is famous for its awesome festivals. Take for example Winter Beer celebrations that are initiated in February. This follows with Food and Drink festival in May. Foods from all regions are brought to the Abbey and over a small period of time it has gained enormous popularity.
Battle re-enactments happened all across Europe but in July this town hosts the largest of them. Hundreds and thousands of visitors gather to celebrate the famous battle of Tewkesbury. The actual life style of middle ages is recreated to maintain the originality of the event. It has now been conducted 25 times successfully and has now become a fully anticipated event of the year.
