Well that's enough lazing around, our re-enactment season has started up again, starting off at Blaenavon Ironworks. Come and see us there 4th May until 6th May. Photo by Ann L Seymour #bankholiday #raggedvictorians #blaenavonironworks
The Ragged Victorians will be taking part in the Living History at the Commandery event this weekend in Worcester. We will be based in The Tudor House on Friar Street. Would be good to see you there. Cheers! Photo by Dave Tucker. #RaggedVictorians #Worcester #tudorhouseworcester
It's a new year, and a time to reflect on the year gone by, but keep an eye on our socials to find out what this year will bring and we look forward to seeing you later in the year. Photo by Tom Carlill #raggedvictoriansthegreatunwashed #victorian #raggedvictorians
Yes, we know it's hard to believe... but this saturday, it's our third event in a row. Come and see us at Leominster's Christmas Market and get some Christmas gifts at the same time. You know it makes sense... #raggedvictorians #leominsterchristmasmarket #nearlychristmas
As our urchins return to their Ragged schools, it's time to take stock of all of the children's shoes we have in the group, ready to pass outgrown items to the next child down. Each urchin adds new stains and repairs along with more memories of carefree days playing in the dirt.
This weekend we are at Chiltern Open Air Museum in Buckinghamshire. It's a wonderful museum with plenty to see, and we're there as a bonus. Hope to see some of you there. Photo by Iain McCallum. #raggedvictorians #raggedvictoriansthegreatunwashed #victorian
On this day in 1834, The Poor Law Amendment Act was passed. This was brought in to remove the burden of supporting the poor from the local parish, and instead provide workhouses, where the poor would be housed and made to work to earn their keep. Photo by Robert England.
This weekend we are making tracks to Cromford Steam Rally. It's a great event, not purely related to steam. See link below for further details. Photo by Frank Dumbleton. cromfordsteamrally.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR2M…
This weekend 29th/30th July, we are at the Elan Valley Visitor Centre for their Festival of Archaeology and Heritage. It looks like being an interesting weekend, so why not come along? You're sure to have a good time, especially if you bump into Charlotte 😉 Photo Geoff Corris
Cheer up Mama Wagg, The Ragged Victorians have another event coming up. On 24th/25th June we will be at Raglan Castle to take part in their Royal Victorian Picnic event. We may even get to meet the Queen who will be attending. Hope to see some of you there. Photo Maria Leekblade
"When a dear dark eyed gentleman passed there and said, in a way that made all o' me colour rose-red, 'What do I see- O pretty knee!' And he came and he tied up my garter for me." This Sunday, 4th June, The Thomas Hardy Victorian Fair is returning to Dorchester.
This weekend we are at Blaenavon Ironworks for three days. Would be lovely to see you all. #raggedvictorians #blaenavonironworks #Cadw #thegreatunwashed #bankholidayweekend

A fabulous event at Gladstone today. I really hope this is repeated in future. The superb re-enactment group even organised snow! What a jewel in the city's crown this Museum is. We should treasure it. #StokeOnTrent #ThePotteries
@fakehistoryhunt The @RaggedVictorian team is great! They have fabulous costumes and even ‘rotten teeth’ to complete their look. They know plenty of facts and are always happy to share their characters’ stories! Here is a pic I took @SSGreatBritain last Christmas…

I love this Living History group, focusing on the common people of Victorian Britain, the poor, the downtrodden, the rat catchers (chap on the left) and so on. Nice counterbalance to all the pretty posh people you often see at public events.
We had a wonderful weekend at Dean Heritage Centre. Thanks to all that came along to see us. Here's a group shot of us taken there by the talented Matthew Jones. #raggedvictorians #deanheritagecentre #livinghistory #victorians #reenactors #reenactment
