English Civil War comes to Derbyshire

Visit the living history camp with music from the time, taking visitors back to 17th Century England. Meet Soldiers from Lord Greys and experience what it was like to be a musketeer or pikeman and have a go on the drum

Children can get involved too and have a lesson with a musket and pike with their own kids drill!

Watch Lord Grey’s drill display with firing muskets and you will be able to watch a small skirmish where Lord Grey’s troops find a royalist camp!!! Which side will you choose?

Also open at Swanwick Junction, the Museum Complex, where you will be able to visit the Demonstration Signal Box, Victorian Railwayman’s Church, children’s play area, Stationary powerhouse and the Country Park. Other attractions may also be open around the complex.
