It has been a long bitter struggle getting there but following the cancellation of the 2009 Southern LRP Kit Fair we returned in 2010 to hold it at our new venue, the spectacular Brunel's Old Station.

Hundreds of roleplayers came to visit and shop over the two days and all left happy whether organiser, trader or visitor.

We have rebooked th venue for next year's fair which will be on 12-13 February 2011 at the same venue and further details will be available here.

Following the successful launch of the Northern Reenactors Fair we are once again looking further to the future while keeping our historical theme as we put together our first Vintage and Historic Clothing Fair.

We are looking at clothing, haberdashery and fabric ranging from Tudor times right through to the 1950s.

Throughout the days we will be conducting historical fashion shows and other entertainments.

Stay tuned for further details as the event develops.

The 2010 season kicked off with the new Foreign Field Northern Reenactors Kit Fair at our usual trade fair venue at Elsecar Heritage Centre. Over a cold two days hundreds or reenactors, history enthusiasts, collectors and tourists descended on Building 21 to see some of the finest historical replicas, antiques and costumes.

It was a welcome return for a reenactors' market in the north.

Having been enjoyed by both visitors and traders alike the fair will be returning in February 2011 .

After a long wait for the right time Foreign Field is now bringing the reenactment market back to the north.

Dates for the Foreign Field Reenactors Kit Fair will be 6-7 February 2010 at our usual northern Kit Fair venue of Elsecar Heritage Centre. As well as the shopping opportunities there will be groups promoting themselves and their period as well as our Historical Fashion Show and our Free Prize Draw.

A2009 has been a challenging year for the whole country and we have been no different but we have put together a packed season of 14 shows and two trade fairs this year and we are already booked in for a similar amount for next year. So on behalf of everyone involved I'd like to thank all participants, staff membersd, museum volunteers and the over 25,000 people who have seen a Foreign Field show this year.

Next year we return to the popular Elsecar Railway Wartime Weekend as well as repeat Wartime Weekends at Whittington Barracks and Avoncroft Museum but keep an eye out for our new Medieval Tournament Weekend for Avoncroft and Wars of the Roses weekend for Whittington.

The mid point of next year will see our jmost ambitious project yet with the Fylde Coast Wartime Weekend to mark the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Three simulataneous events in two seperate towns.

2010 will also see us expand the Kit Fairs to cater to the Northern Reenactors featuring clothing and equipment from Roman Times right through to the Boer War.

Once again thank you from Foreign Field for making this year so great.

Following the unfortunate cancellation of the Southern Kit Fair due to weather earlier in the year it was good to get the Northen Kit Fair going ahead after the season. This year we had 35 traders and over 350 roleplayers attend.

Dates for next year will be 23-24 October at the same venue and we look forward to seeing many of you there.

The Southern Kit Fair returns to Bristol on 13-14 February 2010 at the new venue. Further details are here: .

2009 has seen the welcome return of this small event at Hughenden Manor for Eventplan and Foreign Field was contracted to not only bring our well known Children's Infantry experience to this wartime mapping station but also to work with Lost Patrol to perform a joint British and American paratrooper display.

Our Childrens Drill and Costumed Talks are available for any venue as well as schools. For further information please contact us. .

Looking to our 2010 season we are happy to be talking to the picturesque Wollaton Hall in Nottingham. Just 3 miles outside the centre of Nottingham this beautiful manor house has a wealth of World War 2 history behind it having been both a hospital for the wounded returning from the Dunkirk evacuation and also the home base for the American 508th Parachute Infantry.

We are discussing adding a show to bring this to life alongside their annual large event for Armed Forces Day.

For our final large scale event with Ponderosa farm this year we brought hostilities 200 years forward to the time of Cromwell and the nearby Battle of Adwalton Moor, fought just 3 miles from the site itself.

Across the two days of the show we provided musket drills, pike drills, cannon displays, fashion shows and of course the pounding battle itself delivering a Royalist victory that all but wiped out Parliamentary support in the north of England for 2 years.

We will be back at Ponderosa next year, keep an eye on the calendar for the dates.

Over 1,500 descended on the small South Yorkshire railway where we started out as we staged a spectacular 2 day event for the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of hostilities.

As with previous years we staged the battle for the station, the childrens drill training, the fashion shows and dance, and this year we introduced the work of the Home Guard in bomb disposal with their demonstration of Butterfly Bomb disarmament, and also brought the challenges of the wartime housewife with our cooking and rationing demonstration.

The battle stormed through the station as had done previously, however as a special measure this year the railway kindly allowed us to use the locomotive itself to deliver our troops into the combat zone.

A thrilling day out was had by visitors, reenactors and volunteers alike and we look forward to next year.

For the third year, Foreign Field were invited to stage childrens entertainment for Eventplans on the Home Front event at the beautiful Rufford Abbey.

This year has seen us expand childrens drill into not just other periods of history but also add extra training to our Second World War portfolio with the launch of our Childrens Airborne Training teaching parachute landings, advancing on hostile positions and securing a fallen comrade.

If you would like our childrens drill training then pleaase do not hesitate to contact us.
