Warriors and Washerwomen - A Living History Weekend
May 12 -13
Soldiers, sailors, merchants and housewives from 1000 years of Cheshire history will be bringing the National Waterways Museum to life at the Warriors and Washerwomen Living History Fair on May 12 and 13.
This colourful weekend will see the museum taken over by re-enactors from many different periods giving a living, walking exhibition of the history of Cheshire.
Take a walk around the site and meet fearsome Vikings, Medieval artists, English Civil War soldiers, Redcoats and Cavalrymen from the colourful Napoleonic era, American Civil War soldiers to find out about the North-Wests links to that conflict, Edwardians in the cottages and WWII soldiers on the dockside.
And don't miss seeing our archives and visitors from other history societies.
