This is a unique opportunity to meet some of the soldiers face to face. What did they do when not fighting the Battle of Waterloo? What did they eat? What clothes did they wear?
The 33rd Foot have ben recreating Wellington's Redcoats for fifteen years and will be at Bankfield Museum, home to the Duke of Wellington's Regimental Museum, to explain to you what life was like.
