The global event to which the whole world is invited

The 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta was a commemoration of national and international significance. Due to its central place in English history and its impact across the world, a wide range of events and activities took place.

From specially commissioned BBC documentaries, to academic conferences, more than 20 new books, public exhibitions, local community events and a Magna Carta tourism trail, more than 1,000 events took place across the globe.

Many key events are listed, by month order, below and more detailed information about the activities of the main Magna Carta Towns and our partners is shown in the links to the left side of this page.

We will continue to update the website with Magna Carta events being planned in 2016 and beyond. Click here for more information.
