The 7th annual ‘Civil War author event’ run by the Nantwich Book Shop & Coffee Lounge, will take place on January 24, writes Jonathan White.

It will be staged on the eve of the annual Holly Holy Day ‘Battle of Nantwich’ re-enactment in the town.

Tickets = £7.50 per person, which includes snacks and a £2.50 discount upon book purchase. Cash Bar. Doors open at 6:30pm for a 7pm start. Venue to be decided.

Holly Holy Day traces back to the 17th century and the four-year-long First English Civil War between the Parliamentarians (Roundheads) and the Royalists (Cavaliers) loyal to Charles I.

This year is the 376th anniversary of the original battle, which took place on 25th January 1644.
