2008 Event

The wonderful setting of the Kingston Maurward estate played host to a Regency Fair. Over this weekend, there was exciting recreation of a Regency period Fair with many different Historical participants. Pike And Shot Events Ltd organised this brand new event, which was a fantastic success.

There was an authentic Living History Encampment which gave a fascinating insight into the world of Napoleon, George III, and the Duke of Wellington.

In attendance was some allied army units from England, including the Coldstream Guards, the famous Green Jackets of the Rifle Brigade, made popular by the TV Series "Sharpe's Rifles". We have also got the Sharpe Appreciation Society with many items used during the filming of the series - check out the website - www.southessex.co.uk

For those of you who want a "behind the scenes" look at the filming, Jason Salkey (AKA Rifleman Harris)

 will be selling his video diaries. Check out www.riflemanharris.co.uk for further details.     

Many visitors will be able to wander through the encampments, and pick up a memory from the Marketplace at this superb Event. 

So, walk in the footsteps of King George III, and visit this wonderful event in it's historic setting of Kingston Maurward House, near Dorchester, Dorset
