HISTORY will be coming to the life at Worcester's Commandery later this month.

As part of Living History in Worcester weekend on February 13 and 14 the museum, in The Sidbury, is set to feature more than 200 re-enactors performing.

The re-enactors will be bringing to life history encampments, including Vikings, the 17th Century, Napoleonic, the First World War and Second World War.

During the weekend there will also be military and vintage vehicles on display, the 1940s public house The Wheatsheaf will be open, an Elizabethan surgeon will give demonstrations of surgical techniques, there will be period dance displays as well as Victorian prize fighters.

The event is being held between 10am and 5pm each day.

Councillor Lucy Hodgson, Worcester City Council's portfolio holder for history and heritage, said: “The Commandery is the perfect setting for 2,000 years of history to come to life.

"Living History in Worcester is a key event in the city’s annual calendar and we look forward to welcoming residents and visitors from further afield to this fabulous event.”

Brian Bullock from Worcester re-enactors said: “We hope everyone will come along and join in with Living History at The Commandery.

"From encampments to vintage vehicles there's something for everyone and all our re-enactors have a wealth of knowledge to share with visitors.

"Forget the internet for your history homework – this is the place to be."

The event is free for all Commandery cardholders and for those who bring evidence that they pay their Council Tax to Worcester City Council.
