Warwickshire living history fairs
The International Living History Fair 27th February/28th February/1st March 2009 (November '09 fair is 30th October - 1st November)
Location
The Original Re-enactors Market 13th 14th and 15th March 2009 (November '09 fair is 20th - 22nd November)
Location
Both fairs / markets are worth a look if you enjoy making a bit of kit now and then and are looking for suppliers or even if you have some materials lying around and youre looking for inspiration.
There are usually a variety of knife blanks available and Damascus is often available.
Amongst the many 'things' which are usually available are: Foods, cloth/fabrics, leather and leather goods, books, dyes, bone work, sharpening stones, silly hats, saltpetre, oils, traditional alcohol, incense, sheepskins, furs, horn, antler and various types of footwear.
It can be an interesting few hours - if a bit heavy on the pocket and, if you get engrossed, taxing on a less interested partner .
