Join us at our 2024 show at The Living Memorial, Whitehouse Farm, Rettendon, Nr Chelmsford!The Gardens contain several memorials dedicated to servicemen who have served or still serving.
We have military vehicles across all eras - from push bikes to massive trucks that make the tanks look small! Tanks and armoured vehicles will be taking part in the awesome vehicle parade in addition to the re-enactments, we also have a host of other exciting stuff!
An amazing turn out of living history display groups will be depicting life from many periods and nationalities. These historical re-enactors go to enormous lengths to represent the subjects they portray as accurately and authentically as possible and are always happy to answer your questions or demonstrate equipment so don't be afraid to ask! This provides visitors with a rare opportunity to see how the soldiers of different nationalities and time periods lived and you can get close to the weapons, equipment and atmosphere of the time.
Arena activities will be taking place throughout both days, with parades where you can see these historic vehicles in motion, allowing you to get close to a military convoy, tanks and armoured vehicles as well as see and hear them roaring around the arena and learn a little about their history. and don’t forget to join in the kids marching drill! For many the highlight is the multi period battle where reenactors from different periods and outfits conduct a light hearted “battle” with everything from frying pans to water pistols!!
There's so much more for the kids to get involved in, as well as all the stuff to watch, see and explore, there's also the vintage fair, Jive dancing, live music, family and collectors' stalls and many other activities. What better way is there for the younger generation to learn about our history than to hear about it from those who made it - our wonderful veterans that are always happy to tell their own story. Back by popular demand will be our wonderful live 'wartime' entertainment in our marquee, including music and free Jive dance lessons!
Where else would you be able to get up close and personal to your past!
AND!!! KIDS GO FREE!!!! (under 15)
