About Us


We are a versatile group of re-enactors, with many years of experience gained through membership of a wide variety of organisations.


  • Broad repertoire of skills
  • High standard of historical accuracy
  • Large collection of clothing and objects
  • Complete events on our own or witho
  • Fully insured


We do this because we love history, education and engaging with people.


We put a lot of work into historical research, to maintain a high standard of knowledge and accuracy in our activities. This means we are as comfortable working as historical interpreters at a museum or heritage property, as we are attending a medieval festival or battle re-enactment.


Experienced re-enactor associates joins us regularly, and we can stage full events on our own, or with other living history groups.


We have several members who are experienced with school and special-needs groups.


Our activities are of a professional standard, and so we do charge a fee for commercial events. However, we are involved with several educational and charitable endeavours, and are always happy to waive the fee.

We are happy to discuss pricing options.



We are a family- friendly group, with young members of our own, and can provide activities for all ages.

Our large collection of reproduction clothing and every day objects provides visitors with a  hands-on experience.
