30 June - 1 July - Marston Moor, Yorkshire - Living history, drill, march and service

Each year several regimentes march to the memorial which commemorates the royalist soliders that lost their lives during the battle of Marston Moor. This battle was particularly relevant to Newcastles as it was Maston Moor that signalled the end of our regimente - we entered the battle with in excess of 3000 soldiers and, despite a valient last stand, by the end of the battle less than 30 were left alive. Each year we join the march and lay a wreath at the memorial.
