We like to think about the Civil Wars as a conflict conducted through big battles; in reality, they were fought overwhelmingly by sieges!

Our new temporary exhibition explores the importance of fortresses and why sieges dominated the conflict. It looks at how defences were constructed, who attacked them, and how.

"Besieged: Sieges of the Civil Wars" is open now until the 4th April 2027.

If you can't visit us in person, keep an eye on our social pages for more siege content.
