Frontline Sedgefield

A Sandisk memory card, probably from a camera has been found on the site whilst clearing. If anyone has lost one please PM us!
Well the card has no photos on it so probably a spare, but there is one empty directory. If its yours and you can name the directory let us know!

Hello everyone, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the Frontline Event this weekend. Two people especially, Brian Gladstone and Richard Hardy. Who went above and beyond the call of duty, without their support and encouragement I would have gave up long ago. My thanks must also go to the Northern WWII association for a brilliant Show and some fantastic Displays, all of the other WWII groups involved and not Forgetting Brian's WWI kitchen. Thank...s must go to the varity of other history groups also involved The Saxons, Celts, Romans, Vikings, Medieval, Tudor, Victorian, and not forgetting the American Civil War Society who all put on fantastic Shows and Displays. Apologies if i missed anybody out. I would also like to compliment everyone on the way they left their respective sites clean and litter free, you are a credit to re-enactors everywhere. Thank you to all the other people who came to display. Yes the weather was bad and the turnout was minimal but those who braved the weather have given us hope for a better event next year. So thank you all again from Myself and my family, Billy Adams. W Adams & Son Events.

What a fantastic day out. My grandkids loved trying on the helmets etc and loved listening to the volunteers who were so informative. Well worth a visit.

Loved the whole day.... Roll on next year

I liked it including the tank the t34 my dad lied that the most and my granddad too I have a lot of footage of the battle coming back next year .

Had a great time. Will definitely be back next year if it is on.

Had a good day with the camera really good event nice to see so many difrent eras in History, probably could have done with a little more pre advertising and it would have been better attended mabey more tomorrow defenatley going next year we'll worth the entrance fee well done to organisers ,

Great to have an event like this in the area. More to see than we got round. Very well organised. Everone displaying was great. Look forward to next year!

Great event. People I spoke to were very friendly, informative and destroyed a few myths I had on certain weapons.



Next time my girlfriend and I will bring the children.

Great day. Surprised just how many reenactment people were there and just how big the event was. As more people get to know about it I am sure it will grow into one of the main North East family events of the year. Well worth a visit and we will be there in 2018 too!

Great day, very interesting mix of our history. Well done to all involved.

Great day out. My 8 year old loved it. Highly recommended.

Great day and being able to talk to the re-enacters adds a great insight. Well done

Great afternoon at the frontline festival! Looking forward to next year already!

A good day out lots to do.a bit spread out but worth going.please support
