Events
At each of our three museums there are different events to suit everyone, many of them have a theme related to the specialist areas represented by the collection items on display there.
In Leeds, not only can you see live horse shows, including jousting, but also falconry displays and live combat by knights in shining armour. There are also special exhibitions too.
At Fort Nelson there are big guns to see and hear. A field gun is fired every day on the parade ground as well as on special firing days. There are also large scale military tattoos, fly pasts and even underground Halloween events just for the kids.
