Time Bandits

Time Bandits is an established Living history/historical interpretation team, with myself and Bev Palin as partners, we cover eras from the European Bronze Age until the Cold War working for the community, for schools, museums & Galleries, heritage sites, film, TV & Media. we charge for our time but do often have funding available for specific areas. Currently working with Heart of Blyth and Ray Wind Farm Fund. We have and do work with Heritage Lottery Fund, Northumberland National Park Authority, Revitalising Redesdale and Holocaust Memorial Day, the Sir Stephen Middleton Charitable Trust, Hadrian's Wall 1900.

We do offer a series of regional history tours including Hadrian's Wall together with the Border Reivers.

We're returned from our most enjoyable highland tour and looking forward to Vikings on Lindisfarne, 24th July.
