English Civil War

This presentation begins from the side of Parliament, showing the ills of Charles I and the Royalist cause, but as we progress through the Civil War, we show a different view of King Charles, that of a father and husband.  Giving both sides of the argument draws the children into a debate as to the rights and wrongs of the Civil War. 

During this workshop-based presentation, volunteers are dressed in armour as a pikeman, an ironside cavalryman and a musketeer.
