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. To search for other events that don't have markets HISTORIC EVENTS GUIDE

 

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
