HorsePower, the Museum of The King’s Royal Hussars

Visit HorsePower, the Museum of The King’s Royal Hussars, with its stunning displays of life size models, inter-active exhibits, medals, swords, magnificent uniforms and fascinating photographs which show how the Cavalry of horse and sabre developed into the modern armoured regiment of today.

Trace the history of three famous regiments over a period of 300 years and marvel at the great heroes who won the Victoria Cross for their valour. The dramatic exploits of men who fought in the Peninsula War, the Charge of the Light Brigade, the two World Wars are revealed and much more besides.

In conjunction with the other five museums that make up Winchester’s Military Quarter, we offer interactive, engaging and fun educational visits for schools and colleges. Our competitively priced and curriculum-linked visits explore history topics including World War One and World War Two; STEM topics ‘Forces with the Forces’, ‘Victorious Victuals’ and Hide & Seek, and we are registered Art Award centre.
