<p>Step back in time as Rufford Abbey comes to life with costumed characters, activities and entertainment portraying ten tempestuous centuries of its history.</p>
<p align="right">Come face to face with ferocious Norman warriors. Watch a smart Regency recruiting party practise musket firing. &#160;Chat with Victorian ladies of fashion, and learn how Tudor folk cooked a meal. &#160;From an Elizabethan puppet show to a World War Two concert party, there's plenty of fun for everyone.</p>

<p>Who knows what characters you might meet as you stroll the grounds of Rufford Country Park? Look out for medieval monks, Roundheads, Cavaliers and Coldstream Guards. &#160;Beware a roving band of dastardly 18th century highwaymen, who may ask you to &quot;stand and deliver&quot;!</p>
<p>A colourful spectacle for the whole family to enjoy, all set against the picturesque backdrop of the abbey ruins. </p>
