‘From Twang to Bang’ – from bows and arrows to gunfire – will see historic firing demonstrations by Worcester Reenactors take place in the walled garden. Head into the outer garden to see reenactors take to horseback in cavalry displays – a brilliant new addition this year. Medieval music and Tudor-style dancing will fill the medieval Great Hall, and metalworkers and willow weavers will demonstrate their crafts.
Organised in partnership with the Worcester Re-enactors, the event is a fantastic opportunity for visitors to encounter reenactors throughout the beautiful Grade-1 listed building and grounds, making for an exciting day out for the whole family. Explore a different period of history – and make a new memory – around every corner.
The Commandery is one of Worcester’s oldest and most remarkable buildings, well-known for being the Royalist Headquarters during the Battle of Worcester in 1651, making it the perfect place to be immersed in history brought to life.
Helen Manning, Events and Activities Coordinator at The Commandery, says: “It’s fantastic that Living History falls in the half-term holiday this year – we can’t wait to see lots of families at The Commandery enjoying all the history on display.”
The canal-side independent café, Commandery Coffee, will be open and offering fantastic homemade cakes and toasties alongside a variety of drinks. Vegan and gluten-free options are available, making it the perfect place for all to refuel during an adventurous day out.
There is no booking required for Living History at The Commandery and usual entry admission applies. There is free admission to those with a season or Worcester Residents’ pass to The Commandery. For further information, please visit museumsworcestershire.org.uk.
