Share:

Harwich sits right on the Thames estuary where the river meets the sea, making it a proper place to watch the tides roll in. The Harwich Museum keeps an eye on local history while you catch your breath after a long day at work. It is easy enough to walk over to see what has gone down before without needing a map or a guidebook. Even when the wind blows hard from the north, there is always something happening nearby for families or friends looking for a chat. Near Here gathers all the local news so you do not have to spend your evening scrolling through endless feeds. Just pop in and see what is on before you head home for tea.

1st 95th Rifles at Landguard Fort

1st 95th Rifles at Landguard Fort

Feel the thunder of history come alive As the renowned 1st/95th Rifles descend on Landguard Fort for a thrilling weekend of Napoleonic action on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th April. Known for their precision, authenticity, and unmistakable green uniforms, the 1st/95th Rifles bring to life the elite light infantry regiment made famous during the early 19th century. Visitors can immerse themselves in the daily routines of a Napoleonic soldier, from camp life and drill practice to tactical demonstrations that showcase the skill and discipline of these legendary riflemen. Throughout the weekend, the Fort’s historic parade ground will echo with the crack of muskets as the regiment performs a series of live firing displays. These dynamic demonstrations offer a rare chance to witness historically accurate weaponry in action, delivered with expert commentary that explains the tactics and technology of the era. Please note: there will be loud live firearms demonstrations throughout the day, so visitors should be prepared for sudden noises. Beyond the action, there will be plenty of opportunities to engage with the reenactors, handle equipment, and learn more about the lives of soldiers during the Napoleonic Wars.
