Why are pirates called pirates? Because they “Arr!!” I discovered this today when these two very
authentic looking buccaneers plundered the Arcade for pewter tankards and
pirate treasure!

No, that’s not Jonny Depp! It’s Sam Morton and Sammi
Wynn-Jones with Arcade assistant Gale Harman.
Sam and Sammi are pirate and medieval re-enactors, taking part in shows
and fairs around the country. Also an
avid pewter tankard collector, Sam often comes into the Arcade looking to
expand his collection.
They are members of a re-enactment group based in Basingstoke
called The Greyhounds of St Edmund and will be appearing at Loxwood Joust in Sussex
on Saturday 1st August.

We have some great visitors at Hungerford Arcade and especially, some are inspired to wear wonderfully detailed costumes. Also we have many 'new' customers every week - people from all corners of the Globe who are discovering the Centre for the first time. They are amazed by the diversity of objects for sale from just a few pence up to serious collector's items at thousands of pounds.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Ms. Pym for this award!.
