The National Civil War Centre is a museum that tells the story of the British Civil Wars through the experiences of Newark and the people who lived through the conflict. It is the UK's first dedicated Civil War museum.
Learning through discovery
With real objects, digital interactiveness, large screen cinema and costumes and armour for all to try, the National Civil War Centre makes a great day out.
We have a fantastic range of events throughout the year, from a monthly series of talks by experts in the field, to full scale re-enactments and themed family activities, you can keep coming back and enjoying more unique opportunities to learn about this extraordinary time.
Permanent and temporary exhibitions
Permanent galleries include the Main Civil War Gallery which gives a comprehensive overview of the causes of the conflict while The World Turned Upside Down galleries examine their consequences and look 17th century life more closely.
These displays are complemented by temporary exhibitions throughout the year.
