Keep it Civil!

Top Hat Competition Winner 2022

Keep It Civil! is an immersive and educational comedy production aimed at families with children aged five and above, anybody with an interest in local or British history - or anybody who just loves to have a silly time! 

An imagined enactment of a fictional trial taking place in 1642 - the year Winchester was sieged and stormed by parliamentary soldiers in the English Civil Wars.

The production not only tells the story of how and why Winchester was affected and so important in the wars, but also of the general history of the wars and how they shaped the country - along with debunking some common myths and misconceptions!
