Tuesday 10th March 2026: 7.30pm at the Miller Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne Royal Grammar School.
A mixture of issued arms and privately-owned weapons could be seen in any close naval action of the Trafalgar era. Be it boarding an enemy ship or a landing party, cutlasses, daggers, muskets, pistols, clubs and cudgels were the chosen tools for the job. Local historian and widely-published author John Sadler, assisted by Bev Palin, who between them run ‘Time Bandits’ – a well-established Northumberland-based Living History / Historical Interpretation Team – bring an exciting display to the Miller Theatre’s stage.
I wouldn’t sit in the front seats if I were you….
Free admission to Society Members and staff, pupils of RGS and parents, £4 donation requested from visitors. Doors open 7pm. A bar will be available prior to the event.
