In celebration of thirty years of costumed history business, Past Pleasures Ltd is delighted to announce the launch of a series of short training films, available online. 
If you have ever wondered about the working methods underpinning world-class historical interpretation, these films are designed to unpack the mysteries of costumed live interpretation, giving you a glimpse of the Past Pleasures magic.
In the films, I explore the best practice techniques employed by us, with explanations, clips of interpreters in action and thought-provoking exercises for you to join in with.
If you are a practitioner, a heritage manager or simply curious, you are welcome to enjoy and share these snippets drawn from our extensive training programmes.
The first of these films can be accessed now via a dedicated Youtube channel, and more will be added soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxt3-Awq2x0
