When the weather holds it's a fun place to be.

The awfentic buildings are really nice. Especially the merchants house which we turn into a bawdy tavern

Avoncroft is one of the places where the weather doesn't matter because of the buildings

We've done about 6 events there over the years. The problem used to be the lack of publicity meant that the re-enactors out numbered the public. I didn't go this year as it clashed with another event but the Lace Wars people reported back that there was a large and enthuiastic crowd and the staff were more than welcoming.
I'm pretty sure that we are going back next year.

I have a lot more of the Jacobites and W.O.R. - you would have to email me for them-my computer skills are limited...cant work out how to make an album.
They have them all at the Museum too- & could send them onif you dont want to pass your email address on.

If you would kindly send the WOTR ones to either myself or Allan we will distribute amongst our group - I will pm you my email

Grace, If you think this year was good wait until 2009

Grace Poole · Post by **Grace Poole** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 12:21 pm

I'll look forward to it!

We enjoyed the W O R murder mystery.I loved the way the 'cool' teenage boys (the most difficult audience to impress ) were so involved.

It isnt easy to revive a 'dead' site but it seems to be happening.I hear via the grapevine that business is up 25% this year at Avoncroft-despite the vile weather!

I'll PM you my address after the week end.
Thanks
