The Queen's Royal Lancers and Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Museum

This museum preserves three centuries of cavalry military history through uniforms, weapons, documents, and photographs spanning multiple eras. The collection shows how these regiments evolved and operated across different periods through their equipment and records.

The institution started as part of Belvoir Castle but relocated to Thoresby Hall in 2011 after receiving funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. This move enabled the museum to establish a long-term home with improved facilities.

The exhibits feature personal stories and experiences of soldiers who served in these cavalry units across different periods. Visitors encounter the daily lives and challenges these troops faced through their own words and memories.

The museum is located in Thoresby Court Yard within Thoresby Park and welcomes visitors throughout the week. Restroom facilities are available on-site to help you during your visit.

The collection holds a bugle that was used during the Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War. This artifact provides a direct connection to one of the most famous military events of the 1800s.
