The Newport Pagnell Civil War Weekend will
take place over Bank Holiday August 28–29, 2016 and is a community event
presented by a committee of local people and the English Civil War
Society. Its aim is to bring to life the town’s significant role in the
Civil War in an entertaining and educational way. The event has support
and sponsorship from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Newport Pagnell Town
Council, Milton Keynes Council, Bury Field Commoners Association, Milton
Keynes Community Foundation, and many local companies and
organisations.
Suitable for families, school parties, history buffs or
just a fun day out… ‘armies’ of Roundheads and Cavaliers will recreate
the Civil War at Newport Pagnell over Bank Holiday Sunday and Monday
with cannons, cavalry, pike and musket – all the sounds and fury of
battle, live commentary, spectators’ arena, ‘living history’ displays,
market place, refreshments. Large crowds are expected; follow the signs.website
