380 years on, we join the whole Sealed Knot to mark the dramatic events of the Battle of Marston Moor, with an interactive family day out.

Explore how the Royalist cause in the North was lost in the largest battle of the brutal English Civil Wars, with a spectacular finale featuring hundreds of infantry, artillery and cavalry troops recreating the dramatic battle that saw the demise of an entire regiment and the rise of Oliver Cromwell!

Step back in time as the bustle of our living history camp plays out around you. Learn more of England’s past and discover what life was like in the 17th century. With kids’ treasure trails, quiz sheets and weapon demonstrations against the back drop of Scampston’s stunning country estate, let history come alive for you this bank holiday weekend.
