Any re-enactors?

My wife and I used to do reenacting for 1670s Charles Towne. I got to fire cannons, dress in period clothing and all that. I'd love to be part of a Norse village or something like you said.

That sounds interesting, but I'm a sucker for earlier periods :')

A Norse village would be interesting. People gathering to live an early period lifestyle for a time, cut away from the modern.

I got into historical re-enactment a couple of years ago, and while there's no way I'd want to fight anyone naked, I figured I'd ask.
Are there any other historical re-enactors here, or even just history enthusiasts? I do Viking age re-enactment, and for the most part everyone else in my group kicks my arse since they've nearly all been at it way longer than I have.

Why not recreate ancient Greece, especially Sparta? The Spartans pre war routine was to work out nude

I am too. It's just what was around and I was really bored.

It would be awesome if you, your wife, and the other reenacters would post pics of your costumes.

BAM! Here ya go.

I used to go to steam railways and museums which would put on annual 1940s events where a lot of people would rest up and re-enactors doing various scenes around the sites. Visited a Tram museum too which is set in an abandoned quarry and mining site with a woodland trail. They had two 40s events on per year and an Edwardian event too. Various things going on from suffragette movement to war time evacuations.
