Harry & Edna devised, created and managed the event, 'Stowe at War' festival. The event ran for four years at the 'Stowe Landscape Gardens'.
Harry & Edna researched Stowe's wartime history and used this information to create a wartime trail around the gardens featuring some of the finest UK re-enactment groups. Over the years they organised special guests including Marguerite Patten OBE and author Mike Brown.
As well as generating sizeable visitor number increases, Stowe at War also received national media coverage. The event also scored highly in the National Trust customer feed back surveys.
Below are some of the highlights of the events

This 4 year event is one of a number of commissions Harry & Edna have undertaken on behalf of the National Trust. Other examples include re-enactments at the Needles Old Battery and exhibitions at Hughenden Manor.
