Historical reenactment day at Cogges Manor Farm in Witney

The event, taking place on Sunday, May 3, at the Witney site, will feature a fully immersive day of activities, perfect for families.

Visitors can experience the Anglo-Saxon period with Hwitmearum, an Oxfordshire-based early medieval reenactment society.

The Dairy Lawn will be transformed into a scene from the era, allowing people to witness how life was lived.

The Vale Islanders will also be performing, taking spectators back to the 17th century with their Playford English country dances.

Performances are scheduled for 11.30am and 1.30pm on the Manor House Lawn.

Historic music will be provided by The Itinerants, a three-piece group playing historical instruments.

They will be roaming the orchard, farmyard, and café courtyard.

Free history tours of Cogges Manor Farm will be available at 12pm and 2pm, offering insights into its history from its early inception as an Anglo-Saxon village to the present day.

Other activities include butter-making in the Dairy, candle-making, tent and sail-making displays, and a demonstration of a steam engine and circular saw.

Children can make a Victorian peg doll or a Saxon-style necklace at the craft station in the barn courtyard.

In the Manor House, visitors can watch baking demonstrations, learn about Victorian table-laying, take part in Victorian Wash Day, and discover the history of food preservation.

Normal admission prices apply, with free entry for annual ticket holders.

The event runs from 10am to 4pm.
