Summer of Play: Siege the Hall

Step into the 1640s and choose your side!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

The King and Parliament are at war—and we need new recruits! Will you join the cavalry, the pikemen, or the musketeers? Try on the gear, learn the drills, and test your skills before taking part in our exciting mock battle: “Kids for the King, Parents for Parliament!”

Discover the story of the Murgatroyds, the royalist family who built East Riddlesden Hall, and explore West Yorkshire’s fascinating Civil War history through hands-on living history experiences.
