There were many craftsmen : basket maker, tailors, stonecutters, blacksmith, knife maker etc and also corset makers, lace maker, and cooks
I missed the storyteller, singers, dancers and musicians because it was just lunch time, but I saw bowling and cricket games.
They were all sitting around and enjoyed the meal from this time. As I didn't want to look to close into their plates, I saw that it was mostly roasted chicken, sausages and ham and potatoes.
The "restroom" was just behind the tables
The first tourists arrived, Dutch and English and a few Germans
The ladies in their costumes. Here you can see that it is only a reconstitution because the man had cleared the table and carried the plates to be washed. At that time a man would never had done this !
It was a very cheerful atmosphere
There were also 3 horses and from time to time somebody rode them around
