Walking through the village feels like travelling back in time. The attention to detail is incredible, and the atmosphere is so authentic and immersive. What truly made our visit special were the amazing volunteers and staff. Everyone was so kind, welcoming and passionate about sharing stories about life in the 17th century. They stayed in character, explained traditions, daily routines and history in such an engaging way that both adults and children were fascinated the entire time. The animal skin demonstration and discussions were especially amazing — such a unique and interesting experience!

It’s educational, fun and unforgettable — perfect for families and anyone interested in history.

The volunteers working there were exceptionally good at their respective roles. Each was an expert in their subject area and really lived their role. Except for a few wearing glasses they were dressed authentically and knew their trades. The blacksmith, leather worker, the cook all used period correct tools techniques and materials. · via Google [K Bennett](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108037729262548273771/reviews) ★★★★★ What a unique place this is wow Little Woodham Living History Village, Gosport, the staff are so friendly & really helpful, they all dress in character, they are all volunteers, they talk to you as though you are there with them in the 17th century, it really does feel like you've travelled back in time, they are all so knowleged in their own fields, there is a hut there where you can buy drinks and snacks, toilets on site too, we were there at least 2 1/2 hours, absolutely fascinating.

Leave behind the crazy 21th century and step inside the 17 th century England, the exact year is 1642 just before the civil war broke out. The village is located in a picturesque little woodland "far away" from the noisy city. Dedicated volunteers run the place and they are very passionate about it. They have a deep knowledge from the era and some of them are very skilled craftsmen. The Volunteers' dedication is very impressive. They deserve a visit to show their love, passion, skills from 1642. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48746658c1b63049:0xefeedbb8a3937ac4!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this living history village offers an authentic and immersive experience of 17th-century life, with costumed staff who are experts in their crafts and history.
