Talk | Ghosts and Apparitions in the English Civil War – with Professor Darren Oldridge
Saturday 24 October 2026, 2 – 3pm | The Commandery
The English Civil War was haunted by spirits. This presentation considers some of the spookiest episodes in the conflict, including reports of “fearful visions” and spectral armies in the sky.
Professor Darren Oldridge will place these tales in the larger context of supernatural beliefs in the age.
£10. Book your place below. If you’d like to look around The Commandery, you can get half-price general admission from the shop on the day of the workshop.
This talk is part of a commemorative programme of events for the 375th anniversary of the Battle of Worcester, 1651.
