There is an online link to the petition to keep St Augustine's Abbey open year round: chng.it/2qW2v5zfYW

This comes about under a proposed closure of ‘smaller sites’ by English Heritage, which includes St Augustine’s Abbey.
Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

From 12th Feb to 2nd Nov, visitors to #HeverCastle can enjoy costumes from #WolfHall: The Mirror and the Light! I adored working as an historical advisor on the series, so its a joy to have organised the loan of these treasures, displayed with their portraits. Do come & see!

Oare Gunpowder Works in Faversham is now a nature reserve and has a small visitors centre explaining the history. The park is open all year round but the aviators centre is open from mid-March to November on the weekends.

An idea for a workshop that has been long in the making and will be happening in early 2025. The last time two groups of soldiers fought each other with swords was World War 2. Come and try out both Japanese and Chinese sword techniques made for fighting bayonet charges, and other swords.

Trying to rebuild Viking combat from sagas is like trying to build an effective combat system from Game of Thrones.

Hey Booksky 💙📚, the UK Kindle version of my latest book is currently on sale for 99p! It doesn't give you the full experience of the hardback, of course, but definitely a bargain!

We are launching a syllabus for students that train with us. We will draw on a number or manuscripts across the German tradition to help build out a rounded multi weapon and unarmed curriculum. #medievalcombat #medievalselfdefence #hema #medievalmartialarts
