Published Date:

SUNDAY and Monday sees Belvoir Castle hosting the largest historical re-enactment by The Sealed Knot.
After 360 years the marauding Cormorants return to the castle which will again echo to the sounds of plunder, fire and sword. See the Royalist reign of terror brought to a terrible and bloody end by the formidable Army of Parliament.
In addition to the excitement of the battle there is a huge living history encampment showing how people lived in the 17th century. There is a special children's guided tour where they will be offered the King's shilling and even learn how to be a pikeman.
Admission is adults £10, children £5, family tickets £25 – plus upgrade your ticket to include a visit to the castle and gardens at half normal price.
