Website Update! 👀

We’re now sitting at 43 groups and 20 traders booked in for the International Living History Festival at the Royal Gunpowder Mills… and we’re still adding more!

Group bookings are now closed (thank you all — it’s going to be a brilliant mix of periods and displays), but we now have a limited number of trader spaces remaining, and once they’re gone, that’s it.

If you’re interested in trading, please drop me an email at:
📩 [email protected]

Spaces are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

This is shaping up to be the biggest ILHF we’ve ever had — no pressure on my end 😅 — but honestly I cannot wait to see it all come together at RGM.

👀 I’ll also be doing my final site visit next week, so keep an eye out for a sneak peek of the site…

More updates coming soon…
