Battleground 2025!

[Leon]

Battleground is back and bigger than ever before!  This year's event will be taking place on Saturday 29th November and it'll be our second year in the new venue.  Last year we were hit with a major storm on the day so we've booked better weather for this year!  The show is open 10am until 3pm and entry is completely FREE!

We've got 32 Traders booked in and you can see all of these on the Battleground website here: https://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/traders  There's a few new names this year, including Ontos Games and Warpaint Figures, as well as the return of Little Corporal, Newline Designs and Tiger Miniatures!

We've also managed to squeeze in a massive 28 Games this year with a nice mix of Display and Participation, so head over and check those out here: https://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/games

We'll be joined by 4 Living History groups, with La Columna (SCW), East India (19th C.), Vanguard (Medieval) and Dawn of Chivalry (Medieval combat) all attending this year.

The Tabletop Sale is as popular as always and is fully booked already.  We've got several people on the reserve list too so we're not expecting any space for walk-up bookings this year unfortunately.

Our Historical Talks are always well attended and this year we've got 3 on offer:

10:30am: Tony Fox - Sunderland and the Spanish Civil War
11:15am: John Wilson - The action at Sheikh Sa'id, November 1914
12:45pm: Sean and Lorrain McCartney - The Percy family and the Civil Wars


All of the show info can be found on either the Battleground website here: http://www.battlegroundshow.co.uk/ or our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1115143343377938  If you've got any questions about the event, just let us know.

So, don't forget to tell your friends and we'll see you there!

A good mix of stuff going on there Leon. If only I lived closer!

[pierre the shy]

32 traders and 28 games - looks like a great day out! 

Some of the participation games look quite interesting.....can you save HMS Glorious from the Scharnhorst and Guinesenau? Good Luck!! 

Hope it goes well for you Leon.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Sounds amazing

Yep, that is a problem. Perhaps Pendraken could look to moving its opperation down south? Buckinghamshire would be good

Bedfordshire would be better!

Edinburgh is nice. Jus' sayin'

Bristol is the place to be, or so the local press tells us !

Well it is rude to interupt them whilst making a mistook

This has turned into the opposite of NIMBYs - Leon should be pleased you all want his show locally!

[jimduncanuk]

I think that Leon should present a monthly show in various regions up and down the country ....

Oh!. Wait a minute.

Somewhere in Lancashire would be far enough south for me 

[19th century octopus]

Ever consider expanding into Ireland?

[Leon]

I have considered doing a show somewhere else in the country but the logistics of finding venues, visiting to measure up, travel, costs, etc have all put me off in the past.  I'd never say never though!

One more nudge towards Battleground this weekend, with loads of traders, games and more to keep you busy!

[Gwydion]

I shall be in the Principality stadium watching Wales thrash South Africa (other more likely results are available ).
My thoughts however will be with you.

[Count Belisarius]

Just dropping in to say thanks to Leon for another excellent show. Really enjoyed the day.
