23 - 29 June 2025 - Broad Chalke, Salisbury
Step back in time to 1685 and discover what military and civilian life was like at the time of the Monmouth Rebellion, when the Duke of Monmouth – the illegitimate son of Charles II – landed at Lyme Regis in Dorset with the bold aim of overthrowing the Catholic King James II. From musket training, cannon ball casting, and leather working to the sounds and smells of the kitchen and coffeehouse, the Wimborne Militia will be sharing an insight into the military and social history of the late 17th century.
