Historic Weddings at Donington le Heath Manor House - 26/27 Apr

Published: 18th April 2008 19:09

Wedding to lead to battle at historic Manor House.

Over the weekend of April 26^th and 27^th Donington le Heath Manor House will be going back in time to the year 1651.

On Saturday 26^th April there will be a society wedding - but everything is not as it seems. Under cover of the celebrations a meeting of the lords of the midlands is being held to decide if they should support the return of the king. As at many weddings it ends in a fight - but few of these involve muskets and pikes - let alone cannons!

On Sunday 27^th April it will be a more peaceful day with the tented encampments being used for living history displays and drill.

The event - called a St George's Day Wedding 1651 - is being organised by local re-enactment group, the Society of the Open Rope, with support from other groups. Entrance to the event and parking is free.

Donington le Heath Manor House is run by Leicestershire County Council and is on the southern outskirts of Coalville near Hugglescote and is open every day from 11.00 to 4pm. Admission and parking is free.
