Midlands History Festival

[Laurie Wignall]

People keep calling asking what the last date is for booking a trade pitch or their group in is, 1st of August for traders and 2nd of August for re-enactors after this time I am onsite. one of the benefits of running a local show

[Laurie Wignall]

Car passes are downloadable from www.mid-fest.co.uk societies or traders

If you cant download or print dont worry you can pick them up when you arrive

We can spot re-enactor cars easily......full of lots of sheepskins, pretending not to be overloaded and the passenger nursing armour for the last 100 miles

[Laurie Wignall]

everything’s underway, toilets are in and water is on, people are setting up
was on the radio yesterday afternoon and got an excellent bit in the paper
now all we need is public

Oh and the beer is settling

How big is this event, is it as large as Tewkesbury?

[Tod]

Have a look on the web site, it's multi period.

Hi,

It's not as big as Tewkesbury just over 650 re-enactors and 30 traders

Hi,

It's not as big as Tewkesbury just over 650 re-enactors and 30 traders

Still nothing to sniff at

[The Iron Dwarf]

just got back, was a good event for me and the forge was popular.
my new helper made quite a few things for people and helped many make stuff too.
next event where you can have a go will probably be the EMA do in the spring unless I organise something at my place next weekend whilst im testing the new 'Iron Dwarf power hammer'
