Living History & Reenactment Events
Throughout the year, I take part in living history events and festivals — donning Tudor linen, tending the stillroom fire, and bringing the old ways to life through scent, story, and craft.
Whether portraying a stillroom mistress of 1540 or a wise woman of the hedge, these appearances are not performances. They are remembrances — quiet acts of honouring the hands who came before.
If you’re visiting a heritage site, you may find me there — stirring rose honey, grinding herbs with a mortar, or offering a tale or two from the stillroom bench.

Historical Herbal Support for Film & Reenactment
From the stillroom to the screen — I bring Tudor and medieval herbal knowledge to life.
Consultancy & Props
– Guidance on historical remedies, herbs, and stillroom practices
– Authentic recipes, texts, and usage from Tudor & medieval sources
– Advice on period-appropriate props, ingredients, and rituals
Craft & Demonstration
– Preparation of authentic remedies (ointments, tonics, tinctures, strewing herbs)
– On-set stillroom or apothecary demonstrations
– Hands-on workshops for cast, crew, or public engagement
With a basket of nettles and centuries in my fingers, I help bring herbal history to life — accurate, atmospheric, and richly detailed.
📜 Past work includes Tudor festivals, apothecary demonstrations, and crafting remedies directly from historical texts.
If your production or event would like a touch of stillroom authenticity, I’d love to hear from you.
