Noticed that this is on in Warwickshire next weekend and, - after attending The Battle of Tewksbury fair this summer where there were loads of stalls selling traditional materials - I wondered whether anyone knew what sort of thing went on there - is it worth a visit to pick up leather/brass/antler/linen/etc?

Anyone been before?

... is it worth a visit to pick up leather/brass/antler/linen/etc?...


Oh, yes! It's also worth the visit to pick up ideas :D


Anyone been before?

;)

There's a Meet organised to coincide with the TORM reenactment market in November - thread (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46180).
In my opinion, both are worth a visit.

Thanks for this - I think I'll go along and look into getting a weekend free in Nov as well.

You can pick up traditional materials at both markets, although I prefere TORM from a personal re-enactment point of view.

Went there today and got:

a goatskin
a 2mm leather hide
2 metres of green woolen cloth (might have a go at a DIY Swanni.)


All at bargain prices (less than £60 the lot)

Oh, and a decent bacon sarnie as well...

These fairs/markets always put a dent in my pocket - and this one was no different :lmao: :o .
