Want to know more about the history of Great Britain? Throughout the UK for most of the weekends in the year there is something happening - Jousts, Seiges, Battles, Historic Markets and Fairs, Talks and Living History Displays showing the way people lived in the past. Re-enactors and Living Historians re-create how things were in the past by wearing historic clothing and taking part in various historic activities. See a different aspect to your history that you don't often see in the museums. There are things you can touch and try out (if you are invited too) and real people to answer your questions.

 

Our Events 2007

We make their living out of attending many of these events and we list all the events that we will be attending either as Market Traders or Living Historians here. Just follow the link. Our living history events and trading events have links to the organisers web sites where possible so that you can pre-book or find directions.

Historic Events Guide

We now have devised a dedicated website for the Historic Events Guide 2007/8 where you can look for events in your part of the UK and some other nearby European countries. We hope that this will grow into a definitive list of all events that have some Re-enactment /Living History content here in the UK.

Markets 2007

A definitive list of of Histpric Markets and Fairs with details of the organisers, compiled on behalf of the Historic Traders  Branch of the National Market Traders Federation.. There is some overlap with our lists here but we can't go to them all. Note: Not all fairs have markets.
