The centre piece of many of our events is our prefabricated modular building. Whether inside a museum, large grounds or other location the building houses exhibits, people, equipment or is the centre stage for our plays as a tavern, armoury, workshop, stables or other configuration.

With our dedicated museum display team we include audience participation, lectures, demonstration, vignette and living history in all of our displays. Please use the site to find out more about our group, its training sessions and equipment; as well as how to join or book us.
