Living History Trader Information
Living History Traders are true medieval purists; living the medieval period throughout the weekend, dressed completely in authentic medieval garb and trading authentic-style wares from authentic points, giving the illusion that one really has stepped back in time! Indeed, many have no wares to sell, preferring to live and demonstrate life as it was all those years ago.
To be a Living History trader, you must only trade at medieval events and use an authentic style tent (as your trading pitch is considered an attraction as much as a point of sale). Living History Traders must dress in authentic style costume of the period, and most importantly a
Living History Trader will demonstrate their trade to the public throughout the day.
It is acknowledged that Living History Traders and Demonstrators mostly do what they do for the love of their trade and not necessarily for financial gain and therefore there is no charge for participating as a Living History Trader at England's Medieval Festival.
