Reenactors Entry - Living History Displays
|
Every
year, many dedicated enthusiasts brush off their uniforms, dig out the
camo netting and get on down to Beltring to recreate some classic
scenes from the last 70 years of worldwide warfare. You will find a
selection of photos below - if you are a living history enthusiast and
come regularly to the show, please do send us your photos and we will
put them up on the War and Peace Show photos section of this site. If
you've never been to the show and are thinking about joining us for the
War and Peace Show 2004, you might like to know that ATTENDING AND
CAMPING FOR THE WHOLE FIVE DAYS ARE FREE TO PRE-BOOKED LIVING HISTORY
GROUPS!! Please contact us for more details.. alternatively, fill out and send off the booking in form...
There are NO ADMISSION, OR CAMPING CHARGES
for members of pre booked living history displays. We appreciate the
costs and effort incurred by some groups in putting together displays
and in striving to achieve the remarkable degree of authenticity which
has been evident at past shows. Our exit polls and public surveys tell
us that, for many, they provide great interest and enjoyment to
visitors to the show.

HOWEVER,
so as to separate genuine living history re-enactors and display
organisers, who have put so much time and effort into providing
something for the public to admire and learn from, from visitors to the
show, we must ask that if you are a living history re-enactor, PLEASE BOOK IN ADVANCE.
The living history area fills up quickly and we must have your booking
in advance of the show, otherwise we cannot guarantee you space to
display. If you are a member of a group already booked in, we ask that
you ask your group coordinator to contact us to confirm that you are a
member of that re-enactment group. Many thanks in advance for your
cooperation!
We have
made more space available for living history and have pledged to avoid
the problems of the past - there will definitely be NO bouncy castles
in view, civilian vehicles will be ejected from the display areas while
the show is open, and groups will be sited away from dusty access roads
wherever possible.
Some of the displays from previous years...
 A
Vietnam display, with GIs in full kit... these chaps are also
responsible for a big and rather spectacular event in the arena..
see photos here...
The Second Battle Group
are almost entirely responsible for representing the Axis forces at the
War and Peace Show, and without them, many battles would not be
possible! To find out more about the Second Battle Group and what they
get up to at Beltring and beyond, click here!
Chris and Mark Burley have been coming to Beltring since 1988 -
"I
will be attending as usual with my diorama entitled U.S RANGERS IN
NORMANDY 1944. which includes 6 fully equipped mannequins, a fully
restored 1942 Ford jeep and a ground display of weapons and equipment.
This was featured in WHEELS AND TRACKS MAGAZINE. My brother and I have
been regularly attending your show since 1988 and think it gets BIGGER
and better every year!"

If you are coming to the Show as a living history re-enactor, and you have photos, do send them to our team and we will be pleased to put them on the site for you! We look forward to hearing from you!
