We hope to see you at Overlord 2012 but, even with our new, exclusive living history field, spaces will be limited so apply in plenty of time to ensure we can fit you in. With an idea of numbers we can make sure that our on site facilities – toilets, showers, security, catering and emergency cover are fully sufficient for your needs.
The show is open from Friday 1st June to Monday the 4th, please let us know if you wish to arrive earlier or pack up later.

Now we have our glorious new venue at the Lawns thoroughly tested it is obvious from your reaction in 2011 that dressing for the occasion is becoming increasingly popular. For the first time we were able to dedicate a field to our living history groups who were able to dig in and camp with mature hedges and trees screening them from the car park and the other show fields.
We had a great selection of visitors arriving in 1940′s styles on the Sunday of the show, wearing both civvy clothing and military and home front uniforms. For 2012 we want to encourage even more of you to join in the spirit and the fun of the event, now is the time to make your plans and to gather the clothes and accessories to your look.
