Its Our Heritage: Conisbrough Castle Community Events

Its Our Heritage: Conisbrough Castle Community Events Heritage/ Community Local Interest Group The village of Conisbrough has a diverse and ancient history which includes its unique 12th Century Castle.

It’s Our heritage aims to connect our community with its proud heritage in a positive and inclusive way through historical events, re-enactments, educational workshops, volunteering and local history publications. We formed a small group of individuals from the local community in 2017 where it was proposed a one day event to bring together Denaby Main, Conisbrough Village and the Castle in a celeb

ration of local history, culture and traditions. Our group was later constituted under the Its Our Heritage brand that we thought encompassed our overall aim to unite and engage all. Through the activities of this day we were able to go into schools to give talks about mining, create a pop up archaeological and exhibition centre in the local historical church and host a free event at Conisbrough Castle with a medieval encampment, fighting knights and living history displays. This was expanded in year 2 to feature a Miners march from Conisbrough to Denaby Main, a WWII exhibition at the local shopping centre and a free vintage bus to link up the various shows and exhibitions. Additionally we were able to include schools in our Oral History project which linked individuals and local places with images and voices from the past.
