ABOUT US
This page aims to tell you a little bit about our history. On the Right Hand side of the page
you will see three categories, please click on the images to read a little bit more about what
our Society can offer and what activities we get up to!
We originally began life as a longbow archery club back in 2002 but it has been within the
past two years that we have really formed into an historical society. We have spent much
of our time researching and familiarising ourselves with the characters which we re-enact.
Our aim as a re-enactment society is to present an accurate impression of people who lived
in the 14th and 15th centuries. This means that whilst some of us re-enact historically
accurate figures others have chosen to create a character based upon their knowledge of
social roles within the society of the time. We have amassed a large amount of kit suited to
the re-enactment of this period, including a range of medieval Armour, weaponry and
tents. We have historically accurate costumes which provide the public with an accurate as
possible impression of history. Our characters vary from the noble, to the peasant, and this
allows the public to view something of a cross section of medieval society.
At each event we attend we aim to portray Medieval Life to the best of our ability. We
offer the chance for the public to get up close to our displays and hopefully, many people
go away from one of our events feeling like they have learnt something new and
intriguing about the medieval period.
Our Society is made up of an interesting blend of experienced re-enactors. We consider
ourselves to be a very creative and innovative Society but at the same time we do maintain
the importance of authenticity when at events.
We aim to be a very flexible Society and we are keen to pursue activities and events that
our members are interested in. This means that we are willing to develop new activities
and our members are able to choose what type of character they would like to be.
We do suggest that members begin with a peasant character, as this is a cheaper and easier
role to develop. We do not encourage members to develop a character if they do not have
the equipment to match.
