What people wore in the past can be hilarious.

Our attendance at your event will enhance the atmosphere for adults and children. Create the Mood uses superb historic costume, replicas and originals, court and country, all periods Medieval & Elizabethan to Victorian & early 20th century.  

Small children become mesmerised and adults comment on how good it is to hear early music rather than the usual ‘pop’ stuff.

History is fun - put a smile on your visitor's faces. 

Create the Mood mixes and mingles with your guests as a character, chats about amusing social history, entertains as a strolling minstrel,  and a haberdasher.

We go to all places where people gather in their leisure time, indoors and out: historic venues and museums; community, arts, folk and heritage festivals; craft fairs and fetes; local authority and shopping centre promotions and receive guests at receptions, weddings and birthdays.
