Would you consider the Living history fair to be "a day out" (worth a 4 hr return journey) - and would my 2 and 6 year old boys get bored if I try and drag him round?

In my opinion, definately. If you cast your eye over the Midlands Meets section you'll see that there's a Meet on that weekend at North Wood ~ it's a nice site and an over night stop has got to make life (and the drive) easier ;) . Have a word with Steve (Woodspirits), he'll be able to put you in a better picture than I can.

As with everything, no promises ... But my personal belief is that if you engage their minds they'll love most things there. A huge percentage of the traders are living history buffs who really know their stuff and get a massive buzz from interacting with interested customers (whether you purchase or not :approve: ). An added bonus is that many are not just traders of goods, but are living history professionals and are used to working with kids of all ages.

Time to bump for the Autumn Fairs :D :~

The International Living History Fair ~ 26 to 28 October ~ link

The Original Reenactors Market (aka TORM) ~ 09 to 11 November ~ link



As with the last few autumn TORM fairs, there's a Meet booked to coincide with the event ~ link to Meet thread. The Meet site is approximately 10 miles from the fair.

I've only been to TORM which I really enjoyed. Is there any difference between the two fairs?

It's much of a muchness but, generally, those who trade at TORM don't do the International. Saying that, there is getting to be more of a cross-over of traders.


My own preference is for the International and the only reason I don't do a Meet to coincide with it and TORM is due to the distance from RC.
