EVENTS DIARY 2008
Current bookings for 2008 which are open to the public
It's a pity you can't see all the ones which aren't open to the public too, but I don't publicise the education & function events here.
From April onwards:
APRIL
5th: Nuneaton Art Gallery & Museum Tudor event - which was a smasher! We were positively packed out!
19 & 20: Castle Drogo, National Trust, Devon: Medieval St. George Event, plus Knight in Armour, Story teller, et al
Genuine Edwardian Medieval Castle by Sir Ed. Lutyens, he of Lindisfarne fame. We're really looking forward to seeing it.
MAY
5th Greenwich May Fair, Old Royal Naval College. Multi-period and traditional May event, one we've always enjoyed!
10th Oundle Museum, Northants: Tudor Day event. Always a very friendly museum, in a nice town too.
25th & 26th Bede's World, Jarrow. Another return visit to this superb surprise of a museum, an oasis in the midst of Industrial Jarrow
JUNE
1st: Dover Castle, English Heritage: our first working visit to this most famous... and huge!... castle
21st: Cheshire... wait for further details, but quite possibly in Chester itself, Medieval Event. More later!
28th: Ruthin Gaol - Doing time again, Victorian fashion. Welcome to Gaol! .. and well worth it too, in this very picturesque North Welsh town.
JULY
19th & 20th: Stretton Watermill, Cheshire. It's amazing how much is packed into such a small, and delightful, site, on these days.
Can't promise the sun always shines, as last year we had to take refuge from the floods by performing in Chester's Grosvenor Museum, but the sun USUALLY shines!
AUGUST
16th & 17th: Scarborough, E.Heritage. Richard's first visit here: medieval.
31st: Epping Forest, Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge, Tudor event - again, we're hoping the sun shines as it usually has, unlike last year! (Do you detect a theme here? Do you remember last summer??!)
but we had a great time working indoors, so you get to see & hear us either way.
SEPTEMBER
Heritage Open Day weekend - awaiting more details...
NOVEMBER
1st: Nuneaton, period yet to be announced. Knowing us, probably a choice of medieval, Tudor... already done that one... 17th Cent. or Victorian.
DECEMBER
13th: Blakesley Hall Birmingham, evening event for Christmas. Fantastic - the Elizabethan House you really wish you could somehow smuggle home and live in it,
but I think they'd probably notice if you did!
