A busy and enjoyable Open Morning at the Castle this morning. Wonderful to welcome so many visitors to witness first hand what makes a Hatherop education so special. Thank you @historysquad for the live history demonstration. @iapsuk @WishfordSchools

The incomparable, the unique, the legendary @HistorySquad Kevin Hicks makes a farewell appearance at BGS. Not dressing up, immersion: live musket firing in the grounds of a school appropriately located on a Civil War siege site. Bon voyage, Kevin and thanks for the memories.

Thanks Kim, it’s been a pleasure knowing you and Trevor, and really great of you both to turn out for my last Chepstow tour today. You’d be most welcome to visit us in Canada if you’re ever over that way 🇨🇦

@HistorySquad thanks Kevin & Julie for years of entertainment. Kevin's knowledge and skills with a longbow turned me into a groupie. Thanks for not minding me turning up and following you around. You made history fun, easy to understand and very very more-ish.
