MARCH
Historia Originata Mar 3/4 Rheged
First held in May 2010 in Carlisle – the show was such a success that those behind the show have decided to make it an annual event. Historia Originata was created as a trade show aimed at re-enactors and history/museum professionals in northern England, Scotland and N Ireland.
It did exactly what it promised, and attracted potential buyers from these areas. This was followed by the second Historia Originata in October, 2010, the third show in May of 2011 and now the fourth show in March, 2012 at the fantastic Rheged Discovery Centre near Penrith.
