Battle of Edgehill exhibition

This is a free and interactive visitor exhibition adjacent to the Battle of Edgehill battlefield and permanently installed within the beautiful surroundings of St Peter’s Church.

The exhibition is a modern and permanent visitor hub for one of England’s most historic battlefields. Information boards, artefacts, specially commissioned films and interactive displays explain the events of the momentous battle and relate the impact it had upon the ordinary people of Radway and the surrounding area.

The exhibition features an interactive touch screen display allowing you to view modern and historic scenes of the battlefield, army deployment plans, archaeological surveys and specially commissioned videos exploring the impact upon the lives of those that witnessed the battle, those that fought within it and a film exploring the battle itself and how the battlefield is today.

The exhibition forms the perfect base from which to explore the battlefield, the surrounding landscape and this historic village.

Visit the exhibition

The exhibition is free – but donations are gratefully accepted – and is open during daylight hours virtually every day of the year. Anyone interested in the battle is very welcome to visit the exhibition – it is suitable for all ages, families, organised groups and school parties.

There are newly purpose built toilet facilities and from the exhibition you can walk the battlefield, explore the historic village and enjoy the public footpaths up and across the Edgehill escarpment.

Two duplicate ‘wind-up’ audio visitor’s guides have been installed within the village to enhance your visit. You will find one on the corner of the main road and West End, and the second audio guide next to the bus stop opposite the Village Hall.
