Freemen Welcome to our web site. Here, we can only give you a basic insight into our capabilities. Please contact us for a discussion on how we may enhance your event.
Our group comprises experienced Re-Enactors and Living History demonstrators -- both adults and children.
We always strive for accuracy throughout our portrayals - whether that be an authentic encampment, clothing, cooking or hand to hand combat - to provide an informative and entertaining display.

Our personas and encampments are based around depictions of a "Fellowship" of Freemen, Artisans, Soldiers & Squires ---- joined together for mutual benefit and security whilst traveling in England and the Welsh borderlands during the Middle Ages. Our Bodger makes and repairs all manner of wooden articles - domestic, agricultural and military, and on occasion, turns his hand to armour repairs. His wyfe is a Weaver spins and dyes her own yarns, then weaves cloth and braids. Other ladies in our group demonstrate Lucette, Finger Braiding and Tablet Weaving. We have a skilled Leather Worker making authentic shoes, bags and pouches. Demonstration of the effectiveness of weapons is provided by our Fighting Archers, Men at Arms & Knights. This assembly of individuals has its own Surgeon & Herbalist - knowledgeable in the treatment of wounds and the preparation of medicines and potions. Fine artwork is produced by our traveling Icon Painter - using authentic pigments, gold leaf and techniques.
All of the group enjoy interaction with the public, having gained experience at a wide variety of events. Most of the group have also gained experience as 'Extras' in medieval films.

Our encampments take place at 'retained' events ( e.g.. Chirk Castle - for the National Trust ) and 'open' events throughout the U.K., and we regularly attend major battles such as Tatton Hall, Bosworth, Tewkesbury etc. Whilst we concentrate on the 13 - 15 century, we have the ability and experience to span the Norman conquest through to the Tudors. At these events, we provide authentic and Living History demonstrations. We will be happy to provide talks and demonstrations of weapons - longbows, swords and pole arms - and medieval life .
