About this event
Sudeley ’s walls bear the marks of the English Civil War and from 15-16th August these crucial moments in the castle’s past will be brought to life through a Civil War reenactment. Members of Lord Hopton’s Regiment of Foote , part of The King’s Army from the English Civil War Society , will be revealing the story of Prince Rupert, Charles I ’s nephew, who established headquarters at Sudeley while managing Royalist operations nearby. Featuring a skirmish in the Hop Field , pike drills with drummers on the North Lawn witnessed from the Tithe Barn and a living history village set up on the Mulberry Lawn complete with medics, washing and cooking, this event will give you all the drama, intrigue and tension of a pivotal moment in English history. You can also enjoy a taste of the past with Civil War-themed specials available in the Pavillion café during the weekend.
