Trace the history of three old and famous cavalry regiments of the region through troubled battles and wars…

Set within the Courtyard of the beautiful Thoresby Hall, The Queen’s Royal Lancers and Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Museum tells the story of the cavalry in the British Army from the days of horseback charge, through to the great tank battles of the Second World War, to present day operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Museum traces the history of three old and famous cavalry regiments, the Queen’s Royal Lancers, the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry and the South Nottinghamshire Hussars.

Visitors can enjoy a series of graphic panels and display cases, learning zones and video presentations transporting them on a journey through the fascinating history.
