Summary:
Historical pageants were one of the most striking and widespread forms of popular entertainment in twentieth-century Britain. Presenting large-scale theatrical re-creations of scenes from local and national history, they brought the past to life as never before. This Local History Study Guide is designed to encourage and support the study of these pageants, through their content, organisation, material culture, music, costume and even film. The Guide draws on experience of carrying out detailed local research, staging exhibitions and re-performances of pageant music and scenes, and even producing an entire pageant.
