Marston Grange began welcoming troops yesterday to the historic Battle of Marston Moor site to recreate the encampment and raise money for the MS Society and York Archaeological Trust, a registered educational charity.
There will be battle drill displays and a dance performance from primary school children this afternoon while tomorrow will see a Sealed Knot march leave Long Marston for Tockwith.
The battle was fought on July 2,1644, and led to the Royalists being defeated.
