John Pearson Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Anyone got any firm news? Website for 2023 exists but seems to be a "front sheet" only with no content and none of the links work. Show is not on the Hop Farm programme. Obviously looks like it is off but has there been any official statement? I guess that the presence or not of a stall at Stoneleigh will be definitive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 At the Last Militaria fair. They had a stall, but were Billy No-Mates! No One wanted anything to do with them!......Once trust is lost, you never get it back!..... It would seem that the 'Owner' has a documented history of starting companies. Then closing them down. & opening another under a new Name!.....I wonder why that was?.......😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1950 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 They come and go, but the Dorset Steam fair goes on. Go to the ones you can trust and make them better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john1950 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 At least there is a valid reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pearson Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Well, that is a surprise! No sign of the W&P stall at Stoneleigh. I cannot imagine why, I mean they promised to run a show in 2023, maybe they dont want any entrants to save on toilets and showers? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 So will the those that had bookings rolled over now get their refunds I wonder 🤔 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgey 63 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Its being advertised as "The War and Peace Show", not Revival. Remove one word, does that mean a different company running it or has it been changed for a reason ??? The mind boggles, just hoping that all the people owed monies get it all back, smelling a rat here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War & Peace Revival Limited that ran the previous shows and owes the refunds is still listed by Company House as Active Note...."War & Peace Show Ltd" is a dormant Company Still owned by Rex Cadnam, the former owner of the show Edited February 21, 2023 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonb Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The word Festival seems to be cropping up this year. Time to start running away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Pearson Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Where is the 2023 show currently being advertised? I cant find anything dated later than autumn 2022 under Festival, Revival or Show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Pearson Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 1 hour ago, gordonb said: https://warandpeaceshow.com Thanks for that but that site has been there since autumn last year (it is just 2022's site with that year's show dates changed), nothing on it works and it has not been updated since. I am glad I never paid because it looks pretty certain that there will be no show and no refunds either. Any bets on whether the company that owes the refunds is still solvent?

matchlesswdg3 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 The current IMPS Newsletter lists War & Peace Show in its calendar of events for 2023 - optimistically perhaps although yes, the W&P website does say a 2023 is scheduled. Anyhow, academic probably as I doubt they will get many takers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I guess the show is basically dead? A pity, I enjoyed going there to see the displays, battles, stalls and meeting up with friends. Guess after brexit it would be a lot of extra hassle for me coming over from the Netherlands anyway. Still, I have a lot of fun there. Who knows what the future holds, maybe a European version? Or you rejoin the EU?...but lets not open that can of mines.😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR100 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 When I looked at the Companies House info the company incorporated in 2015 as the vehicle or the show (War and Peace Revival Ltd) had a deficit on its balance sheet at the last filing. Blosville Ltd files nothing until next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64EK26 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hi W&P has had it's day, It was great fun (even when it was muddy) ..... but time to move on. There are plenty of other shows on As for advertising a 2023 event.... there is no mention of it on the Hop Farm events page see https://thehopfarm.co.uk/events See you at Solent Overlord, Southwick D Day, Capel, Military Odyssey and some other smaller local shows Cheers Richard 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 If you want a worthy replacement for W&P and don't mind traveling I'd suggest going up to Bradford for YWE. I'll be there. 🙂 Andy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
