Venue: National Civil War Centre

Over 300 civil war re-enactors will descend on Newark during early May Bank Holiday as the clock is turned back to the mid-17th century. The historic Queen’s Sconce fort – built in 1644 – will be the stunning venue for musket fire and fighting, whilst Newark Castle hosts major living history displays, recreating the dark days when the besieged citizens of Newark struggled to cope with food shortages. The National Civil War Centre will also stage exciting demonstrations to bring the period vividly back to life. T: 01636 655765.
