Alan Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Has anyone had any notifications on W+P for this year? Wasn’t booked in to the 2020 show as it conflicted with the annual family holiday, would have been the first I’d missed in 20yrs and with last year cancelled, thought I’d get in early and book this years, but note the website is not currently up and running yet…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garys39 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Their website was closed early November, I went to book a pitch then as their application date/cut off for the standard prices was before 17th November, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Interesting… with only 6 months to go you’d think they’d have the website up for bookings etc. Hence why I thought I’d ask if anyone who had booked had received a notification of their intentions this year. Guess it’s a wait and see ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 So someone has asked the same question over on the MVT Facebook page and subsequently rung the Hop Farm direct, they were told that apparently discussions are ongoing with the show organisers …… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdrop358 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) The W&P website has been updated: The office will be closed until APRIL!! The hop farm site still has no mention of W&P either. The complete lack of information is not helpful, especially when leave needs booking for example. https://warandpeacerevival.com/ https://thehopfarm.co.uk/events/summer-fun-at-the-farm 2022's event!

Ian78 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Same experience with me. Called the hop farm and they couldn't confirm if the event was booked or not. Sadly it doesn't look too promising right now for W&P I have now booked in to a more local show in Suffolk as I want to get out and display, but just don't want the uncertainty of a show potentially not going ahead.

John Pearson Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I note that Hop Farm has "War and Peace" not "War and Peace Revival". Anyone know the significance of the change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Pearson Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Nick Johns said: Thats interesting, I heard years ago the Hop Farm owned the copyright to the name "War & Peace show", Rex Cadnam changed it to the "War & Peace Revival Show" when He moved the show to Folkestone, then sold it and the name to John Allinson, who formed "War & Peace Revival Limited"....although Rex Still owns the Company "War & Peace Show Limited" Two possibilities spring to mind: one, Rex is running it or two, Hop Farm are running it themselves. Either way, if either is true, they are leaving it damn late to start to take bookings. If either are planning to run a show, what happens to people who have booked and paid to the "Revival" organisation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To book in groups and traders, then plan the event with such little notice, can only lead to problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pearson Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I note that Classic Military Vehicle mag (marked April 2022) has a short article stating the War and Peace 2022 "would be going ahead" and "tickets will be able to be booked on line from April". Foreign participation is confirmed. Seems to me to be too late to be thinking of organising such an event? Will be interesting to see if they have a stall selling tickets at Malvern on Sunday. Who will be booking in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pearson Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 W&P were not at Malvern but on another interweb site I was assured by one of the management team (i/c of reenactors field) that the show IS going ahead and bookings will be taken from mid April onwards. I for one hope that it does run but they are leaving it very late to get everything sorted out in time I think. No indication of costs as the normal cut off date has passed. Who will book in? I certainly will be arranging to go if it does in fact run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I spoke to John Allison today in France (W&P show organizer). He said the show is definitely going ahead. Office opens next week. https://warandpeaceshow.com/ Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Just seen that the W&P website is now back on, but booking in vehicles or applying for tickets is not available until 19th April ! No mention of costs ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pearson Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I gave the W&P website a careful inspection and noted 3 things: one, all the info looks good and genuine, two: as mentioned above, no indication of price or how the 'late booking fees' system may work as the lateness of bookings will not be the entrants fault and three: the word "Revival" does not appear anywhere. I am sure that this missing word has a great significance but can only imagine why is has been deleted?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I guess John is back in UK now. I'll give him a ring over the weekend and see what I can find out. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferretfixer Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 13 hours ago, Nick Johns said: Perhaps the organiser has reached an agreement with the hop farm to call it the "War & Peace show" as they supposedly owned the name if I recall correctly? The ORIGINAL 'Owner' of the War & Peace Show registered title. KEPT that Title in His possession? He DID however sell the 'Show' & Title for 'The War & Peace Revival Show'. To 'John'!....... Am I reading too much into this? Or is the 'Original' Owner involved now in this particular show? It does make one wonder, dosent it?... 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
