Sealed Knot Event
2019-09-14 12:00 - 16:00 | Log Circle, Upper Cwmbran, Torfaen, United Kingdom
Blaen Bran will be hosting a soldiers marching camp of re-enactors from the Sealed Knot, specifically the Royalist regiment of Charles Gerard, on Saturday 14th September. The BBCW Chair, Dave Williams, and his wife Lucy, are members of the regiment, who take part in re-enactment displays showing aspects of the English Civil Wars – that took place between 1642 and 1647.
There will be a small marching camp, depicting a small group of soldiers gathering on their way to join the main army of the King near Bristol. It will be a chance to see some of the equipment and weapons of the time, and some of the soldier’s pastimes – from repairing kit, to camp cooking and games of chance. The camp will be ‘open’ at the fire circle up in the wood between 12noon and 4pm on the Saturday, with anyone welcome to join us.
There will be a planned trip to the Bush Inn and the Queen to try and drum up recruits for the king’s shilling, around 11am on Saturday 14th. There will be an overnight camp (complete with campfire) and then we will be showing our visitors around the wood on the Sunday morning. Do feel free to come up and visit.

Free Willow Weaving and Craft Session
2019-12-01 10:15 - 13:00 | Log Circle, Upper Cwmbran, Torfaen, United Kingdom
BBCW will be having a willow weaving and craft session, as we have done in previous years, looking to make willow wreaths and other items (probably with a Christmas theme), as well as some Christmas decoration making, on Sunday 1st December from 10.15am through to around 1pm.
We will have some of our ‘tea in the trees’ facility available and will be joined by Sasha Ufnowska (who helped us create our parachute shelter) to help with willow crafts. Sasha works with Llais y Goedwig, the community woodland network in Wales (of which BBCW were one of the early members), and also has her own company running bushcraft activities- www.bushcraftcourses.co.uk – so has a lot of practical experience.
Children are welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult for any craft making.
