A Polish Heart Beats Here / Tu Bije Polskie Serce | Tuesday 29 October 2024 - Saturday 26 April 2025

Celebrate the rich and diverse Polish culture within Newark and Sherwood at the National Civil War Centre’s new exhibition, ‘A Polish Heart Beats Here’. Co-produced with the local Polish community, this vibrant exhibition explores three main themes: remembrance, everyday life, and culture and traditions.

You can discover Newark’s historical ties to Poland, from the Polish Armed Forces’ presence in local airfields to the twin town of Sandomierz. The exhibition is a heartfelt collaboration, reflecting the spirit and traditions of the Polish people in Newark.

The National Civil War Centre is located at Appleton Gate, Town Centre, Newark-On-Trent NG24 1JY. For more information about the exhibition and related events, visit Exhibitions | National Civil War Centre, Newark
