What's happening on Jan 21st in Nantwich?

 As usual (but after a 2 year gap) the town and the Sealed Knot are celebrating Holly Holy Day re-enacting the Battle of Nantwich.

The day starts in Acton with a talk and tour of the battlefield

There will be military displays, as well as Morris dancers and other entertainment*

Then a parade and a noisy battle re-enactment (i.a.o charity)

I will be there with the Forlorn Hope - a group of musicians playing interesting instruments like Hurdy Gurdy and Crumhorns, as well as the more usual fiddles and recorders. I shall call a few easy dances based on some published around the time of the Civil War. Nantwich Museum 11.45 - 12.45. *NB not the time posted on the out of date flyer. This one is up to date. https://www.facebook.com/battleofnantwich
