The Living History Weekend with the Sealed Knot at Moseley Old Hall: The King's Escape will take place on 26 September 2026 at Moseley Old Hall in Wolverhampton. The event is an outdoors event with various performers. Admission is required.
It’s 9 September 1651. The young King Charles II has just suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Worcester. On the run and hunted by Parliamentary forces, he arrives at Moseley Old Hall under the cover of darkness. But nearby, a band of Scottish soldiers has made camp…
Join us for a dramatic Living History Weekend as members of the Sealed Knot re-enact the tension, danger, and daily life of this critical moment in English history. Witness soldiers drill with pike and musket, hear the drums of war, and step into the world of 17th-century civilians and artisans.
Experience:
• Living history displays of camp life, crafts & clothing
• Drill demonstrations with musket, pike, and drum
• Children’s drill & interactive activities
• Stories of Charles II’s daring escape
These two days of immersive storytelling and historical re-enactment bring to life the 48 hours that shaped the future of the monarchy.
Perfect for families, history enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the real drama that unfolded during this pivotal moment in history.
Normal admission costs apply, no booking required.
