hello mate
a lot of it depends on what you want from the show........
war and peace is mainly from the second world war forwards to today, but having said that it is the better of the two for shopping
whereas odysey is a multi period event everything from ancient times up to present day but less shopping ,
the choice is yours but left to me i would go for odysey...... lets see what the others say

HA HA HA HA HA! That's US! well, I don't lurch much any more...... I sort of shamble352nd wrote:Wouldn't know myself. I've heard a lot of horror stories about Beltring, like things going missing and strange people lurching around.
Taff - Beltring is an experience...... you can never grasp it when people talk about it, never quantify it from photos, You HAVE to be there at least once and like Schafer says - It just grabs you....
Detling is another must. Old man Howard has got the formula right and while it's there you haev to experience that also. It is a gentler show and more in tune with re-enactment. Beltring is raw and powerful, Detling is svelte and sexy.....
If you do Beltring arrange a spot in the quiet re-enactors field for your missus Otherwise it can be a bit overwhelming for 1st timers families. Detling has a quiet area anyway. And as for 352's scare stories As you WELL know - Thieves are everywhere not just at shows.... Security is the watchword. Lock it out of sight.
yes, i keep meaning to get to beltring sometime. Delting is a bit harder because i alway have to work that weekend doing a generator hire for a local rugby club's evening party. So i never get to it. I've also heard storys about Beltring's bogs being crap, but they can't be any worse than peak rail's porter loo last year
Hah. South Wales is a bloody doddle. When I attended Odyssey this year (first time) I was travelling from Manchester waaaaay up in the north. Four hour train journey and then another hour from London to Maidstone East.
Odyssey was good though, me and my mate enjoyed the weekend, even with some bloody pissed up SS guys in the tent next to us SNORING all night, both nights.
Probably going to War and Peace this year though, want some more shopping, and I was a bit disappointed with the amount of WW2 reenactments at Odyssey.
