The Napoleonic Weekend is set to return to a museum with over 150 re-enactors.
The event will take place at Chiltern Open Air Museum on May 31 and June 1.
The museum, located in Buckinghamshire, will be transformed into a historical spectacle with more than 15 cavalry horses also part of the scene.
The Napoleonic Association will bring military encampments to life, offering visitors a glimpse into the lives of Wellington, Blucher, and Napoleon's armies.
The re-enactors will share stories of the men and women who kept the armies fed, clothed, and marching.
Actor Jason Salkey, known for his role as Rifleman Harris from the TV show Sharpe, will also be present, adding a touch of celebrity to the proceedings.
In the display arena, visitors will be treated to musket, cavalry, and artillery displays.
The sounds of roaring cannons, charging horses, and firing muskets will transport visitors to the heart of Napoleonic warfare.
Michelle Luttrell, event manager at Chiltern Open Air Museum, said: "We are really excited to have this event return to Chiltern Open Air Museum.
"Last year’s event was one of the most spectacular events that we held on-site.
"It’s the largest re-enactment event that we have held and we’re really excited to be offering this immersive experience to our visitors."
The event will run from 10am to 5pm on both days.
Chiltern Open Air Museum is not just a museum but a registered charity with a collection of over 30 rescued and reconstructed historic buildings.
These buildings, which were once homes or workplaces of ordinary people, are now part of the museum's outdoor site, each telling its own story from history and the present day.
The museum, which was founded by volunteers from the Chiltern Society in 1976 and opened to the public in 1981, operates independently without any government funding.
It relies on admission charges, memberships, private hire, filming, school visits, catering and shop sales, and donations for its operating costs.
The museum is run by a small team and a large group of local volunteers, who are known for their passion for the museum.
The site regularly hosts community and special events, making it a vibrant part of the local community.
The Napoleonic Weekend is one of the many events that the museum organises, offering visitors a chance to step back in time and experience history in a unique and engaging way.
Tickets for the event can be purchased directly from the Chiltern Open Air Museum's website.
