To celebrate the centenary of the opening of Blake Museum and Living History Day on 22 August 2026, the Friends of Blake Museum are delighted to welcome back volunteers from the Battle of Sedgemoor Visitor Centre.

The volunteers previously gave a highly successful historical talk earlier in the year.

The display will be held between 10am and 4pm in the museum upper garden, where the volunteers will present artefacts from the battle, along with replica weapons. Many of these are based on farm implements and tools.

The volunteers will explain the items on display, and visitors will have opportunities to handle the replica weapons. They will also share further insights into the battle and explain why the Monmouth Rebellion became known as the Pitchfork Rebellion.

The Friends look forward to seeing you at the event.
