My name is Nichola and I work at RHS Garden Rosemoor in Great Torrington.
I’ve recently come across your website and wanted to let you know about an event we have coming up here in the summer.
At the end of July we will be holding a Vintage Weekend in the garden, which will include a Classic Car show, 1940’s singers and entertainment, a vintage emporium and WW2 re-enactors, and we’re currently looking for WW2 displays and re-enactors, and I thought that this might be something some of your group might be interested in.
www.rhs.org.uk/gardens/rosemoor/viewevent?EFID=377&ESRC=CMS
The dates are the 29th & 30th of July and the event normally attracts in the region of 2000 people each day.
I’d be really grateful if you could add us to your events listing and I really hope some of your group will be able to join us :)
With kind regards,
Nichola
