The National Civil War Centre is stepping beyond its walls. Through our new Outreach Cases project, museum displays will appear in community venues across Newark and Sherwood, each one filled with objects from our collections that connect directly to the lives, memories, and voices of the people who live here.

These cases aren’t just exhibitions; they’re conversations. Every object tells a real story from our district, celebrating the heritage, creativity, resilience, and everyday experiences that shape our communities. By placing these stories where people already gather, we hope to spark curiosity, pride, and a deeper sense of belonging.

This is history on your doorstep - shared, visible, and alive.

Coming soon from July 2027.
