About this Event
Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome has so many stories to tell - its bursting at the seams! We tell them in all sorts of ways.
One of the most popular, loved by many, is the presentation of Living History.
At our Living History events, expert historians explain and explore life in the past, showing the visitors all the little things that the books and the internet might miss.
What does it feel like to wear those clothes?
What does that food taste like?
Why did they do THAT, instead of THAT?
Did they really know how to do THAT??!!
Now, by popular request, we are throwing open our borders to take in centuries more of history.
At this Multi-period event, we will welcome Living Historians from through the ages...
So far, we can confirm that we the following periods will be depicted, with more being confirmed every week!
- Early Medieval (11-13th Century)
- Baron's war (13th Century)
- Late Medieval (15th Century)
- Stuart (Specifically, mid-17th Century)
- Great War
- Second World War (Home Front)
Come and journey back with us - there will be plenty to see and hear.
Also, don't forget - Admission covers access to the museum exhibitions and hangars, too!
Images include confirmed groups as well as some drawn from other events at Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome and may not represent final event.
