🕯️ 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.
