How are the reenactments historically accurate?

We take historical accuracy very seriously and work closely with historians and experts to ensure that our reenactments are as accurate as possible. We use authentic costumes, props, and weapons, and we strive to recreate the feel and atmosphere of the time period we are depicting.

How are safety and security ensured during the reenactment events?

We take safety very seriously and have strict rules and regulations in place to ensure that all participants and spectators are safe at all times. We have trained safety officers on site, and all weapons and props are thoroughly checked before and during the event. We also have strict rules in place regarding behavior and conduct, and any breaches of these rules will result in immediate removal from the event.

    Nice place for a walk but mostly road walking and dogs on lead only. It's beautiful for sure but quite short walking . Would be great for little ones on scooters etc as good smooth road and relatively few cars as private estate. No facilities as not that type of park . You can walk beyond park onto other footpaths so you can make it a longer walk . Not much parking and it's on road mostly but free.

    Beautiful place. Visited for an event and was impressed with the set up even due to the weather. Only issue Is that the one way system does not seem enforced.

    Scenic place but not much to do. Can have a long walk or run alongside a lake.
