2027 is The European Year of the Normans

For the millennium of William the Conqueror's birth, major celebrations are being planned in Normandy, the UK, and indeed across Europe, wherever the Normans were influential – a surprisingly high number of countries! 

Our 2027 page will keep track of all the events planned.
