The French seem to want to ditch Brexit and reform a historical link

I missed this post originally but can also recommend Gary - we moved to him about 10yrs ago and have always found him competitive and able to provide suitable policies not just for our re-enactment events (and group shows) but other non re-enactment events

Heading south (ish) from Rouen on the A139/13/28 towards Le Mans you pass next to this chateau: up on a hillside looking down towards the Seine. Annie is right about support from the Fondation du Patrimoine, although it is complicated, usually 50% tax relief, but with grants being available if the o...

Or the Scottish local authority who, before issuing a licence for a medieval event in May, wanted to know if all re-enactors' clothes were fireproof and met modern standards, and wanted certificates of compliance for living history tents together with plans showing where their 'burst out' doors were.

We are holding a multi period history festival in Crieff, Perthshire on 30/31 July 2016 This show will be very similar to our previous shows in Lanarkshire and will include a history market. It is likely that space for this initial market will be restricted, and will be let on a first come basis. Fu...

Warning orders for traders will go out by e-mail this weekend. If anyone doesn't have them by Monday, or wishes information not in them, please get in touch. If you want to know how to pronounce Chatelherault - check Friends for a local lingo guide. And further details about the festival are also on...

We presently have 35 bookings for historic traders, with some we know of as being 'in the post' - probably putting us just over the 40 mark. We also have just under 20 craft and specialist food/drink traders in the modern market. The new historic venue at Chatelherault has plenty of scope with 500 a...

Trading forms went out about 2 months ago and the response has been great. We are looking at a larger trading market than in previous years, with a significant number of new traders (from the UK and mainland Europe) joining the regulars who have been supporting the event for the last 10+ years. This...

Details of Scotland's Festival of History 2013 - northern Britain's premier multi period show - have now been posted on Event Announcements. The 2013 show is being held in the magnificent grounds of Chatelherault, just off J6 of the M74 at Hamilton. Traders pitch fees are still at 2010 prices and bo...

Scotland's Festival of History, Chatelheraul, by Hamilton, South Lanarkshire 17-18 August 2013

long established (originally at Lanark) multi period event - if you need more info either contact me via heree or via the website

Scotland's Festival of History - northern Britain's largest multi period show - is alive and well and has a new home. Normal service will be resumed on 17-18 August 2013 and at an exciting new site: light years away from the old racecourse home. We are also running a small taster event on the new si...

Please see statement on this festival posted under events

Events won't be the same without you and Ruth - but I'm sure our paths will cross again. And if you ever fancy a weekend away, as mops, you will always be welcome at Lanark (August and Xmas Market). And of course the black pudding & Arbroath Smokies supply service is still at your disposal. Just...

Set-up details for traders went out this week - if you've not received yours please pm or send an e-mail. NB although the site is now 7ft heras fenced thanks to another major expansion in space - we've arranged for a gateway in the fencing so anyone wanting hot showers can still reach the new sports...

There has been some concern that re-enactment traders - and re-enactors - in Scotland could be affected by a law change last year. This has now been satisfactorily resolved by another law change which means NO historic trader at an event requires a knife licence north of the Border Full details have...

The beer tent is run by Strathaven Ales, a local, award winning independent brewery - whose latest brew is an alcoholic ginger beer. If you have special requests for the weekend (beer tent open Fri & Sat nights for re-enactors/traders) contact Craig at the brewery - http://www.strathavenales.co....

Plans are well advanced for Scotland's largest re-enactment show, the multi-period Scotland's Festival of History. A popular and well established event, it is held in Lanark, just over an hour north (via M74) from Carlisle. We had about 6000 visitors last year and are hoping a professional marketing...

As you say, ships .

Have PMd you

they arrived on a dvd, there were so many. When I get back from the INLHF I'll get them copied and passed on for transfer to the website.

An update on Historia Originata 2 We're almost at the 'full' point with about 50 pitches booked so if you are considering taking part in this event leaving it any longer will probably be too late. We've already exceeded the initial block booking for those wanting to stay over the hotel, at discounte...

Still waiting for a disc from the photographer but in the meantime you can see a short documentary film of 2010 under the 'Lanark' topic on Friends and Gossip

The first Historia Originata in May - held in Carlisle - was such a success that those behind the show have decided to make it a twice yearly event. Number 2 is on October 2/3 and in the same hotel location as the original. So far most of the original traders taking part have rebooked, but we have m...

Not much you can do about it though. Small claims if you can afford the extra fee to register it. At least then you'll have an official record of a claim. Though there's probably not much chance of getting anything back once it's gone into administration. Technically, if the company was in administ...

set-up details etc will be going out later this week, so if you don't have anything by Monday let me know PDQ They are almost all going out by e-mail - but those of you who are Lanark regulars won't find any changes, apart from a swap of sites. The plastic site, which is larger and flatter, is now t...
