This year is the 10th Anniversary of the Battleground show so we hope you'll join us to celebrate! The event will be taking place on Saturday 25th November in our usual venue of the Queen's Campus Sports Hall in Stockton-on-Tees, TS17 6BH. The show is open 10am until 3pm and entry is completely FREE!

We've almost finalised the Traders so there's a list below and you can find them on the website here too: link

The Games are mostly booked in with only a couple of gaps left now. We've got more Participation than Display this year, so take a look to see what'll be available on the day: link

The Tabletop Sale is open for bookings now so make sure to get in touch asap as we've only got a couple of afternoon slots left now. You can book a table at £1.50 GBP per half hour and sell off any unwanted goodies you might have. You can deal with the customers directly, offload some kit and then go buy something new from the traders!

This year we've got two excellent Talks for everyone, with Alex Clifford presenting "Shock Troops or Cannon-Fodder – The International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War" at 11am and then John Sadler with "A History of the Anglo-Scottish Border" at 1pm. Plus we're also joined by the Heugh Battery who'll be bringing some of the kit from their WWI museum.

All of the show info can be found on either the Battleground website here: battlegroundshow.co.uk or our Facebook page here: link If you've got any questions about the event, just let us know.

So, don't forget to tell your friends about the FREE ENTRY and we'll see you there!

Sadly, this year, I won't be there, as I am dependent on buses that are on strike!

One last nudge for tomorrow! We've got 30 traders, 25 games, 5 living history groups, 2 historical talks, 1 museum display, a fully-booked Tabletop Sale… and a Prize Giveaway!

And don't forget that it's all completely FREE! Free parking, free entry, even free prizes if you're lucky enough!
