About

A dramatic reconstruction of the exciting events leading up to the Battle for Fort Detroit

This spectacular event in the grounds of Cardiff Castle uses the voices of actors, specially composed dramatic music and fully-costumed re-enactors - with live musket and cannon fire! - to tell the story of the battle for Fort Detroit through the eyes of a welsh soldier in the 41st Regiment.

Event times 10am to 5pm.

This event has been created by Welsh writer and composer Tim Riley working in collaboration with the 41st Re-enactment Society, The Firing Line Museum, and the Cardiff School of Creative and Cultural Studies at The Atrium

Guide Prices

Admission to the event is £2, plus admission to the Castle. Cardiff Castle Key holders, £2 only.
