A lot of folk I know are busy on that date as Kentwell Hall has their annual great recreation of Tudor life. Try ggoling "The Tudor Market", "The Original Reenactors Market", and "The International Living History Fair" which will give you a load of contact details.
Very best of luck with your event.
