History comes to life at through the ages battle re-enactment in Sheffield

On Saturday June 3, Medieval knights, Tudor musicians, Napoleonic soldiers and World War One Territorials will be descending on Sheffield Manor Lodge for the annual History Through the Ages re-enactment.

The event brings together historical characters from a range of eras all set in the grounds of Manor Lodge’s beautiful Tudor Ruins.

The highlight is sure to be the battle displays and the weapons firing. Visitors can also explore the living camps, interact with reenactors, dress up in costumes and handle weapons and armour. Children can join in with special drills and there is also a bouncy castle and face painting.
