Charles Gerard’s Regiment of the Sealed Knot Society

Re-enacting the Civil Wars of 17^th Century Britain

We offer

• More than 40 years of experience in re-enacting the turbulent period when the armies of the Crown and Parliament waged Civil War across early modern Britain.
• Presentations ranging in size from individual talks and interactive living-history demonstrations, displays of weapons and drill, through to stunning re-enactments of large scale battles, pitching pike, musket, artillery and cavalry into atmospheric conflict.
• Enthusiastic and approachable experts able to demonstrate the foods and fashions, sports and games and a variety of period crafts to illustrate and explain the daily lives of soldiers and civilians at all levels of society.
• A tailored package to suit your venue and audience.

As the main attraction or as one element of a multi-themed event; from local fête to town festival; whether you are a school, club or society, a national charity, local authority or even a stately home, we will work with you to conjure the sights, sounds, smells and wonders of the 17^th Century before the eyes of the public.

Endorsement From A Recent Event

“A very big thank you for the colourful, educational and exciting demonstrations. ... The living history camp also excited lots of interest and, together with the noise and smell of the cannons and muskets, added a great deal to the authenticity of the scene ... You all seemed to take the weather and general conditions in your stride again ... Thank you once more for leaving your campsites perfectly clean and tidy. It was a pleasure to have you all around for the weekend.”
