Living History Encampments
Friday 29th June – Sunday 1st July 2018 | Free with event or entrance ticket
In this 100th anniversary year of Vimy Ridge, Arras and Passchendaele, we will be putting on another major immersive First World War experience. There will be a training camp at which ‘recruits’ will be shown and ask to take part in a number of drills similar to those practiced at camps near here in south-west Wiltshire.
We will also have a new trench experience, at which people can enter as a fly-on-the-wall spectator as our living historians enact scenarios from 1917. To book, please see programme.
Throughout the week will be a number of period vehicles on display and the chance to ride on a First World War horse-drawn ambulance.
Sword School will be returning (to book, please see programme), along with Have-a-Go-Archery, numerous stalls, and demonstrations – there will always be much to see and do. We can’t wait!
