Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? Petition to Keep St Augustine’s Abbey Open Year Round

There is an online link to the petition to keep St Augustine's Abbey open year round: chng.it/2qW2v5zfYW

This comes about under a proposed closure of ‘smaller sites’ by English Heritage, which includes St Augustine’s Abbey.

From 12th Feb to 2nd Nov, visitors to #HeverCastle can enjoy costumes from #WolfHall: The Mirror and the Light! I adored working as an historical advisor on the series, so its a joy to have organised the loan of these treasures, displayed with their portraits. Do come & see!

Oare Gunpowder Works in Faversham is now a nature reserve and has a small visitors centre explaining the history. The park is open all year round but the aviators centre is open from mid-March to November on the weekends.

It’s getting cold. Wrap em up warm #tacticalbob

An idea for a workshop that has been long in the making and will be happening in early 2025. The last time two groups of soldiers fought each other with swords was World War 2. Come and try out both Japanese and Chinese sword techniques made for fighting bayonet charges, and other swords.

Trying to rebuild Viking combat from sagas is like trying to build an effective combat system from Game of Thrones.

Coolio. It looked familiar 🤣

What’s this from?

Yes I have been considering it for a while. It will change and expand but I have a start point now. And will tweak as I learn more about the fighting guilds in Germany

We are launching a syllabus for students that train with us. We will draw on a number or manuscripts across the German tradition to help build out a rounded multi weapon and unarmed curriculum. #medievalcombat #medievalselfdefence #hema #medievalmartialarts

I teach German traditional medieval self defence on Mondays and Thursdays in Canterbury, Kent based on the teachings of Johannes Liechtenauer #medievalbluesky #medieval #medievalcombat
