If you go down to Rougemont or Northernhay gardens this weekend you see events from the City of Exeter’s 2000 year history being brought to life by historical re-enactors who really know their stuff!
I popped down there on my lunch hour and witnessed the Vikings and Saxon having a bit of a barny with each other, Friday i see was designated schools day so lots of kids cheering for either side – its great to see kids getting involved with history and actually seeing in in action.
Throughout the weekend there will be everything from Roman soldiers to craftspeople, physicians, leather workers, spinners and scribes from the eras of Exeter historical times, these include : Roman, Anglo-Norman, Vikings, Medieval, Georgian, Napoleonic, Victorian and World War 1.
Its on all weekend Friday 25 June – Sunday 27 June between 10.30am – 5pm, well worth a visit in my humble opinion.
You can find out more on the Exeter City Council website here.
