A LIVING history event depicting the English Civil War has been cancelled due to the foot-and-mouth crisis.
The event, due to take place at Goodrich Castle in Herefordshire this Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday, was scrapped as a precautionary measure against the spread of the disease.
But parents looking for a day out with their children during the holiday are being offered a day at Worcestershire's Witley Court which is offering a nursery rhyme trail.
Youngsters can take part in competitions at the court, near Worcester - one of 200 English Heritage sites being opened.
The event, which starts at 10am, costs £3.80 for adults or £2.90 with concessions and £1.90 for children above the age of five. Family tickets cost £9.50.
For more information on the event, contact the site's information line on 01299 896636.
