About this event

Following on from our previous day’s photography with a Steam Punk theme, we are pleased to be able to offer a full day of photography on a different theme with full access to the Museum when it is closed to the public.

Taking the Victorian period as our timeline, we will use a number of re-enactors posed around the Museum site. We will make full use of the outdoor areas of the Museum and also access the interiors of those buildings that most closely match the period which we seek to recreate. In addition, we will be able to use our smoke machines, filters and other equipment to bring extra atmosphere to the scenes over and above the natural excellence of the location so some great images should be obtainable. 

Avoncroft Museum was established in 1967 to preserve some of the historic buildings that were at that time being demolished to make way for modern development and were in danger of being lost with no physical record of particular types of architecture. Five years earlier, in 1962, a local campaign had been started to save a medieval timber frame town house threatened with demolition in Bromsgrove. This building became the first to be rescued, dismantled and reconstructed at Avoncroft Museum, where thirty structures spanning 700 years of history have been rescued and rebuilt on site. These include the famous Danzey Green Windmill dating from the 1830s, the Little Malvern Tollhouse of 1822 and the Nailer’s Cottage of 1840s vintage. Avoncroft Museum is also home to the National Telephone Box Collection. 

The Museum’s buildings are many and varied covering a number of historical periods and we will obviously be using those that best act as a backdrop for our re-enactments during this event. While there are no guarantees, the blossom should be out in the orchard which will present us with more seasonal opportunities. There is ample free parking on site and a substantial tearoom located near the main entrance. The Museum is just a few miles from Junction Four and Junction Five of the M5 motorway.

This event is open to 25 photographers only. 

This should be a relaxed and enjoyable event, so why not join us for a day of Victorian re-enactor photography in the Midlands

Cost will be £65.00 per person
