Guy Fawkes Experience - 6th & 7th November Join us for a fireworks display to be held at this historic site, where gunpowder was made.

A family weekend of activities themed around the Gunpowder Plot. Discover the story of the plot and its characters through talks, interactive scenes including learning about Stuart era foods, how secret messages were used between the conspirators and meeting the ghost of Guy Fawkes.

 

Costumed re-enactors will be on site to talk to you and answer questions about daily life and military activity at the time of the Gunpowder Plot.

 

Come and see our Gunpowder Plot Exhibition.
