'Against All Odds' - The siege and surrender of Newark   1646   
360th Anniversary Event

Friday 28 April  2006

Schools Day
Following on from classroom activities and workshops devoted to the history of the castle and its importance in the civil war, the Schools’ Living History Day on 28 April, presented by members of the English Civil War Society, brought history to life in a highly visual, exciting and hands-on manner.  This was one of the most ambitious and extensive educational days related to the English Civil War that has ever been arranged.. Around 500 local pupils were able to “step back in time” and meet people from the C17th. Officers, soldiers, civilians and camp followers, who carried out their duties and demonstrated what life was like – and how different it was from today.
