History will be brought to life at The Commandery on May Bank Holiday (Monday the 25th) when the popular Worcester visitor attraction hosts Oak Apple Day. 

Commemorating the historic moment in 1660 when King Charles II returned to the throne after the English Civil War, the special event will feature, among other attractions, musket firing in the gardens, pike and cannon drills for children, history talks, and the chance for youngsters to ‘get crafty’ and make their own Oak Apple mobile. 

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:

• Reenactors to encounter around The Commandery
• Musket firing in the gardens
• Hands-on pike and cannon drills for children (and grown-ups!)
• History talks about Oak Apple Day and the English Civil War from Worcester Reenactors and The Battle of Worcester Society
• Refreshments available at Little Al’s Kitchen at The Commandery
