The Towneley re-enactors will be celebrating the 350th anniversary of the founding of The Royal Society with events throughout this autumn in the Family Dining Room.

Local hero Sir Jonas Moore, vice president of the Royal Society, will tell Richard Towneley all the latest philosophical news from 17th century London and the Towneley family will make sure he has something good for his supper!

After each re-enactment the cast will stay around to talk to visitors about the Towneley family and the Jonas Moore connections with Towneley.

The events take place this Saturday, Sunday and Monday (August 28th - 30th) at approx 1 pm & 3 pm at locations throughout the Hall.

Reenactments will also take place on the Woodland and Heritage weekend (10th, 11th & 12th of September)
