The National Civil War Centre in Newark is the ONLY museum in the UK dedicated to telling the complete story of the 17th century British Civil Wars – the most deadly in our history. Explore fabulous galleries taking you on a journey through this amazing period, when a King was supplanted by a country squire and the world was turned upside down.
Feel the weight of armour on your shoulders and discover the fate of ordinary folk caught in the crossfire.
Marvel at award winning films in a fabulous wrap round cinema and try your hand at cutting edge interactives to become captain of gunnery.
A new exhibition reveals how surgeons saved lives on the battlefield and people coped with the legacy of war. And take a leap forward in time to glimpse the nationally acclaimed temporary show on Lawrence of Arabia based on ten years' research in the desert.
The museum is a great day out for all the family with scores of special events staged through the year - all included in the normal admission fee.
