About MH Historical and Our Journey

At MH Historical, we’ve turned our passion for history into a living, breathing experience. From the dust and thunder of medieval battlefields to the meticulous organisation of an RAF dispersal crew, we strive to make history come alive in ways you can touch, see, and feel.

Whether you’re looking for characters to populate a photoshoot, an immersive festival that transports you through time, or an event that draws on the unique stories of your venue and its surroundings, we have you covered. We offer a range of experiences designed to bring history to life in captivating, unforgettable ways.

Our journey began humbly, helping out with military vehicles and convincing my parents I only needed one uniform, and has since grown into organising major anniversary events, including the Battle of Shrewsbury and contributing to RAF100. Our experience continues to grow, bringing new opportunities and stories to the forefront.

Our Expertise and Approach

MH Historical is all about making history accessible. We’re experts in bringing heritage sites to life by harnessing a vast network of re-enactors, historians, living historians, interpreters, and entertainers. Our carefully curated database includes musicians, storytellers, and performers, all of whom help shape an immersive, interactive experience that resonates with visitors and creates an atmosphere that perfectly aligns with the venue’s needs.

We understand the importance of keeping costs manageable, which is why we tailor our services to suit any budget. Whether you’re working with a tight budget or have a larger event in mind, we’ll maximize the impact without compromising on quality. History is our passion, and we take great pride in offering campaign events, supporting private museums, and helping smaller venues tell their unique stories.

One of the key benefits of working with MH Historical is that we handle the logistics and coordination, removing the stress of dealing with multiple groups and displays. We act as the middlemen, liaising with participants, gathering risk assessments, and providing a comprehensive management plan. This allows the venue to focus on its visitors, leaving the operational details to us.

Quality and Authenticity at the Core

We believe that the heart of any successful event is the quality of its displays and experiences. Every event we craft is carefully researched and thoughtfully designed. We hand-pick our interpreters, re-enactors, and entertainers to ensure that they’re not only knowledgeable but also engaging, interactive, and able to create a memorable experience for all attendees.

To make history truly accessible, we curate diverse display options, ensuring that visitors of all learning styles can connect with the past. By engaging multiple senses, we bring history to life in ways that are immersive and educational, making every event a unique journey through time.

Event Design Tailored to You
