Thanks to Gary Main for sending me this picture on Saturday night. Somehow he managed to capture everything from The Big Battle of Abbots Bromley - Living History Festival photography day. There’s me right in the middle at the front!

He sent it with the caption ‘you did this’ - exactly the pick up I needed as I was flagging half way through a challenging weekend running my biggest event ever (about to open to the public on Sunday).

A massive thanks to everyone in this picture who made the event a huge success!

I took a good many pics myself, I will take my time and enjoy going through them in the coming weeks as I try to thank everyone involved. Keep following to see how it all unfolded…

Great distraction last week to do a little live music photography. Really enjoyed the music and energy from Girl In The Year Above - watch our for this band!

Thanks to everyone who came along today and over the weekend! Amazing 🥰

A huge thanks to everyone who came along to The Big Battle today! I hope you all enjoyed the event!

Thanks to all our traders, staff, volunteers and reenactors! I can’t believe we did it!!!

I’m a little exhausted now, but had to share this poem with you that one of our visitors handed over to me.

Please do share you pics and videos with us - we would love to hear your stories from the day
