Civil War siege to be re-enacted
A major Civil War re-enactment is to be held in a Nottinghamshire town thanks to a lottery grant of £25,000. The event, to be held in April 2006, will mark the 360th anniversary of the surrender of Newark, which was a Royalist stronghold. Local history group Newark 1646 secured the money and a building society donated a further £5,000 to the scheme. Thousands of visitors are expected to watch the siege acted out, with a skirmish each day and canons firing. Over the next few months, battlements will be built in the Riverside Park, ready for the “attack” on the castle.
Young archaeologists will also be involved in some of the reconstruction work.
