Battle re-enactor (!?)

[Badvoc]

...anyone know how he can get into this?
He is 11 in June and has always been very interested in history (which dh and I have encouraged)
We have places like bosworth battlefield and belvoir castle and Warwick castle within an hours drive.
What should he do? Study?
I like the idea of him volunteering somewhere but pretty sure he is not old enough yet.
Any advice gratefully received !

When your at next event why don't you ask to speak to someone about it . Have seen a fair few children involved in this type of stuff when when gone to few activities when my son was younger .
There no harm in asking whilst your there .

Yes...I will have to I think.

Have you looked at local history societies? What about the sealed knot? Or there is something callers the national association of reenactment societies. They might have list of groups. I would think most big towns and cities will have a society of some kind. It might vary what era of history they're into tho.

We live in a small village sadly, so no big cities or castles that near to us.

book your tickets for English Heritage History Live - early bird prices until 1 April

There will be hundreds of people he can talk to and ask questions.

this book is an entertaining read, I don't know about your DS and whether it's within his abilities I Believe in Yesterday

Wow, thanks everyone! X
