Oak Apple Day

Step back in time to 1660 and celebrate the restoration of the crown on Bank Holiday Monday in a fantastic day bringing history to life in Worcester.

Oak Apple Day marks the historic moment when King Charles II returned to the throne following the English Civil War.

Where better to commemorate this historic moment than at The Commandery, the Royalist Headquarters in the final battle of the Civil War?

Delve into an exciting day of living history for all the family - there'll be:

Reenactors to encounter as you make your way around The Commandery, living history camps to explore, musket firing in the gardens, pike and cannon drills for children (and grown-ups!) to get hands-on with, as well as history talks about Oak Apple Day and the English Civil War.

Pop into Little Al's Kitchen at The Commandery to refuel with homemade food and locally roasted coffee.

*

General admission applies; free admission to those with a season or residents' pass to The Commandery.

Advance booking is not essential, you can just turn up, pay in the shop, and get stuck in!
