This recreation took a long time to organise. We visted so many castles in the North east of England but when you mention somone getting burnt at the stake with fire and smoke you are on to a looser. Steph Mosman a member of our group was always going to be our Joan and she had to listen to endless jokes about ok a smoke generator will be safe but maybe just a little fire to make it look real. So so much work into costumes, thank you Pat and brilliant members of our group were prepared to travel to allow our creation to take place. In the end Prudhoe Castle were supportive and we were able to set a date 29th September two days after I returned from holiday. I made a stand with bolted support frame. Rather than use a masive wooden pole I askes Franks Factory Flooring to let me have a cardboard carpet role support. This was provided for free so painted brown and we were good to go. A local farm provided a straw bail which was placed in front of a net to keep it against the stand and we were good to go.
Lighting set up no rain but a brilant sky and we were off. I hate to use photoshop to add things to images but a few small elements of fire I hope finished this recreation off nicely.
Overall a brilliant day and hopefully the images capture the everyone involved having fun.
