THE grounds of Kirkleatham Hall Museum, Redcar, will become a weekend home for military history enthusiasts later this month.
A Napoleonic scene is being re-enacted at the museum by a display team, which regularly meets to act out history.
Over the weekend of June 24 and 25, the group will become the 68th Durham Light Infantry, just back from the 1814 Peninsular War. There will be demonstrations of drill, tactics and musketry.
Museum curator Phil Philo said: "We're delighted to have them here. We're continuing a long tradition of using re-enactment groups, and for the first time it fits in with the period of the hall itself, which was built in 1709."
Admission to the camp is free. It will be open from 10.30am to 4.30pm each day.
