Although the actual opening of the National Civil War Museum was delayed the event was a great success with the E.C.W.S. and the Sealed Knot both taking part in commemorating  this much needed facility with Living History demonstrations and a skirmish in the Castle grounds.  There was also a full scale Living History Camp portraying both Military and Civilian Life at the Queens Sconce, all rounded off by a splendid battle staged by members of the Sealed Knot.

The feedback we received from the Public was very good, with some eager to make this an Annual Event.
