The National Civil War Centre is a relatively small, but absorbing, museum dedicated to the so-called English Civil War of 1642-1651, mapping out the causes, course and consequences. Newark was held in the Royalist cause during the War and besieged three times by Parliamentary forces, in 1643, 1644 and 1645-46, so a section is devoted to that story. The museum includes some very interesting original items, excellent audio-visual displays and a cinema. In the same building, there is the Newark on Trent town museum as well as a programme of temporary exhibitions. Regular events are held, mostly related in some way to the Civil War, many of them aimed at children.
