People are invited to travel back in time to the English Civil War at Ulverston’s Ford Park.
Living history group Colonel Montagu’s Regiment of Foote will be in the park on Sunday, May 28 and Monday May 29.
The group will display life in the 17th century, plus demonstrations of military engagements and weaponry.
There will be 17th century artefacts, tents, shelters and military arms. The display will include military stations such as pike, musket and cannon and more, demonstrating civilian life during the period.
A drill display will take place both days showcasing military arms of the period. There will also be a children’s drill after the military drill display on both days and youngsters can get involved.
A spokesman said: “Historical re-enactments have been popular at Ford Park in the past and we’re looking to rekindle the excitement for all the families and enthusiasts.
“We feel it’s important to experience history and not just read about it and so we’re very excited to have this display happening in the park for all to enjoy.”
Tickets are available from the Ford Park website and Ford Park members should contact the office on [email protected] to claim their 10 per cent discount on tickets.
