Living History fair this weekend

Going to the Reenactors Fair tomorrow, to meet up with various folks including [livejournal.com profile] velvet_the_cat. I understand it's in Warwick. I thought I'd better check where it is, always a good idea before setting off halfway across the country.

Um, is there something I should know? (scroll down!) Are we headed for the right one?

Anyone else going - and if so, to Warwick Exhibition Centre, or to somewhere else?

There are two over the weekend:
http://www.reenactorsmarket.co.uk/
Which is the one that used to be around oxford and now moved further north west.
http://www.livinghistoryfayres.com/
Which is the one around Warick & I haven't tried before.

We're planning on going to the Warick one on saturday. There are loads of lrpers going to either and some going to both.

I think I'll better ring Anne and find out which one's she's going to!

Anne is definitely going to this one:

I know because she sent me the link by email a few days ago.

Are you going? *hopeful look*

We are running a fun casino on Saturday night for a Spinal Charity who are having a fundraiser at the Brum Metropole. Therefore we are staying at Chris Hill's. This means that on Sunday our options are (a) go to Ren Fayre (b) go to Anne's (c) go home cos we're knackered.

However, I hear that you are going Saturday, so unless you are staying over at Anne's, these options are not helpful to you.

Went to the Warwick one last time and it was OK but not as good as the other one IMO. They had some kind of tournament going on that took up loads of space and far fewer people selling things.

But I like the idea of the corset show which is why I will be going to that one.
