Events
Over the course of a year, there will be numerous events that will be of interest to enthusiasts of not only the Defence of Rorke's Drift, but also the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 as a whole. This page is designed to bring together these events into one place, so if you are planning an event that you believe may be of interest, please contact us.
To the right you can see the Die Hards re-enactment group practising the drill outside the National Army Museum in Chelsea.
