The Commandery Museum in Worcester is the only museum in the country dedicated to the English Civil War.  It is now the main base of the Fairfax Battalia.   We will be carrying out a regular series of events here, as well as holding training sessions and participating in other events organised by the Museum.  A feature of the events is to create scenarios in the rooms within the Commandery, so helping to bring this magnificent building to life.
