Cannock Chase Military History Days - website 1
Cannock Chase Military History Group - official web page
On 16-17 August 2014, Cannock Chase Military History Group will be holding an open weekend with a number of activities that should appeal to all ages.
It's described as a free multi-period, living history event, which will have static and arena displays (which means plenty to look at as well as events and re-enactments to watch), and will cover periods from the English Civil War through to modern day.
There will be encampments and a genuine Great War hut, which will be manned over the weekend by re-enactors, along with experts and veterans who will be on hand to educate and inform.
There will be a range of hands-on activities for children of all ages:
* Dress in replica kit
* Man weaponry
* Childrens' pike drill
* Build and fire an air rocket
* Archery
* Many more.
The group are raising funds for Help for Heroes over the weekend, through collections and wristband sales. There's a cafe and visitor centre, BBQ area, picnic sites, and children's play area, all on site, which is good news if the weather takes a turn for the worse.
Location: Cannock Chase Visitor Centre, Brindley Heath Road, Cannock Chase, WS12 4PW
Dates: Saturday 16 Aug 2014 and Sunday 17 Aug 2014
Time: 10:00-16:00
