THE EXCITING Living History at The Commandery event returns next Saturday and Sunday, February 21 and 22, writes Sam Wadsworth.
Visitors can catch a reenactment of the Battle of Worcester which happened during the English Civil War 375 years ago.
From bows and arrows to gunfire, attendants can see historic firing demonstrations by Worcester re-enactors in the walled garden.
Medieval music and Tudor-style dancing performances will take place in the medieval Great Hall and families can meet metalworkers and willow weavers as they demonstrate their crafts.
Organised in partnership with the Worcester Re-enactors, the event is a fantastic opportunity for families to travel back in time and be immersed in history brought to life.
The Commandery is one of Worcester’s oldest and most remarkable buildings, famously known for being the Royalist Headquarters during the battle of Worcester in 1651.
Helen Manning, events and activities coordinator at the commandery, said: “Living history is always an exciting way to begin the new year at The Commandery.
“2026 marks 375 years since the the Battle of Worcester, so its a really significant year for the city.”
No booking is required for the event and general entry admission applies.
There is a free admission to those with a season or Worcester Residents’ pass to The Commandery.
