The conference proper (29 September - 1 October) will take place in the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, which houses one of the world's premier collections of arms and armour from the last millennium. The optional following two days (2-3 October) will comprise visits to several major English battlefields, including Towton and Bosworth, where investigations are in progress. Delegates will also have privileged behind the scenes access at the Royal Armouries. For those not able to present a paper there will be the opportunity of poster presentations. There are many other attractions in Leeds, a thriving major city, and in its environs.
