Group Bookings are now being taken to the new £5.4m National Civil War Centre. making an historic return to the heart of Newark in the Grade II* listed Old Magnus Buildings in the town’s Appletongate where the centre piece theme will be the deadly struggles for power in 17th century Britain. The sieges, skulduggery and violence – in virtual reality at least – along with political intrigue and religious rivalry of the British Civil Wars will be showcased in a modern 21st century setting that is expected to attract 60,000 visitors a year. The struggle to control Newark – a staunchly Royalist town – was one of the defining events of the Civil War. It was here that King Charles I surrendered to the Scots Army which was allied to the Roundheads. The centre is the first of its kind anywhere in the UK dedicated to telling the story of these turbulent times.
