Volunteer talk: The three sieges of Pontefract

Oliver Cromwell once said that Pontefract Castle was "one of the strongest inland garrisons in the kingdom... and very difficult to mine".

Pontefract played a key role throughout the English Civil Wars. It influenced the struggle for supremacy in Yorkshire and the North of England.

Join our brilliant volunteers to learn about the three key sieges of Pontefract Castle.

Discover why Pontefract would be the last Royalist stronghold to fall, months after the execution of King Charles I.

The talk is for adults aged 18+.

This event will take place in the Activity Zone at Pontefract Castle.
