A new event for Re-Enactors and LARP enthusiasts in the North East of England!
The organisers of the popular National Living History Fair and the North West Re-Enactment & LARP Market are holding the first North East Re-Enactment & LARP Market at Brancepeth Castle in County Durham on Satuday 17th & Sunday 18th October 2015
Brancepeth Castle is not usually open to the public!
Brancepeth Castle is not generally open to the public, so this is a massive opportunity for people to visit this historic north east building. Admission to the event is ONLY £2.50. Imagine getting to see a National Trust or English Heritage property for that small an amount!
“The castle was originally founded many centuries ago by the chief of the Anglo Saxon Bulmer family whose last male heir, Bertram Bulmer had a daughter called Emma who married Gilbert De Neuville, a Norman baron who had come to England with William the Conqueror. De Neuville’s descendants were called the Nevilles and were the owners of Brancepeth Castle until the sixteenth century.
In 1569 Brancepeth was confiscated from the Nevilles by the crown following their involvement in a plot to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I called the Rising of the North. The Nevilles had been the chief instigators of this rising which had been plotted at Brancepeth and Raby Castle with the assistance of the Percys who were the most powerful family in Northumberland.”
Evancliffe Leathercraft
Evancliffe Leathercraft are thrilled to be part of the First North East Re-Enactment & LARP Market at Brancepeth Castle. Like the organisers, we are hoping that this new North East event will become a regular feature on the Re-Enactment & LARP calender.
We will be joined by many other traders, a lot of them regulars at numerous other Re-Enactment & LARP events, including the others mentioned above by the same organisers.
We are also looking forward to setting up our stall inside a REAL CASTLE!
Re-Enactment & LARP Leatherwork.
As most of our regular customers will appreciate, most of our leatherwork is made to order. That is, people contact us, tell us their requirements, and we design and make the custom leatherwork to their specification. This means that we don’t usually carry a large range of standard items. We have however developed a small range of popular Re-Enactment & LARP items. These include belts, belt hangers for mugs, weapons etc. as well as water bottles and drinking tankards.
