Our regulars, The Militias of Anglia, who are coming back to Thriplow over Daffodil Weekend for another year of historical reenactment. Check out their encampment in School Lane Meadow at DW, 22 & 23 March.

And this year they are featuring some new superbly yucky fun for the kids (and the big kids):

Splat the plague rat
Hook a turd from the pond
Snot in the pot
Pillory sponge throwing (Roundheads and Cavaliers)
What’s in the box?
Hands in holes – eewwwuukk
And a quiz

*Cromwell’s New Model Army camped at Thriplow (Triploe) Heath back in 1647 and their encampment would have been very like that of the Militias of Anglia at Daffodil Weekend.
