This
list of events was orginally intended for the use of members
of the Historic Branch of the National Market Traders Federation.
We have now made it public as a further service to the living
history/re-enactment community. It is complied by David Hewitt
of History Alive. These are historic re-enactment events that
are combined with markets (we are traders after all). For other
events use the resources listed on the previous page.
Here is a timetable
for the first half of the year. I cannot guarentee the accuracy
- please just use it as a guide. Some of the organisers have
not yet come back to me to confirm their dates - these are marked
with a question mark - thus "?". I will update this
list on a regular basis so add it to your "favourites".
If you have any new
events, accurate dates, suggestions or improvement to offer
you can email me here history_alive_ltd@yahoo.co.uk
