Coll.
John Hampden's Regiment
Coll. John Hampden's Regiment of Foote is a re-enactment group, an integral part of the Roundhead Association and the English Civil War Society. Founded in 1974, the regiment was named in honour of the real-life regiment commanded in the seventeenth century by JOHN HAMPDEN MP, one of the pivotal English figures of the 1630s, that took the field in 1642, to stand up against Tyranny and Oppression! John Hampden was known in his lifetime as "Patriae Pater", the father of the people, and had he not been tragically killed in the Civil War, the outcome might have been very different.

The 2nd Battalion 95th Rifles
The 2nd Battalion 95th Rifles Re-enactment Group was formed in 1998 though some of our members have many years of re-enacting experience behind them. Our aim is to portray the 2/95th as they would have been whilst on active service primarily during the Peninsular War (1808-1814) and the Waterloo Campaign of 1815. All of our uniforms and equipment are based on existing original examples and from the uniform regulations of the time. Even our drill and tactics are taken from Rifle Drill Manuals of 1803 and 1807.
Living history is a very important part of our unit as a soldier could spend more time in the camp than on the battlefield. It also gives the women and children of the unit a chance to recreate the way of life for a family of a Napoleonic soldier. All our food and drink are made from period recipes and cooked over an open fire which becomes the heart of the camp. We are very much a family based unit with members from all over England, and our events not only take us all over the country but Europe as well.

95th
Rifle Regiment of Foot
The
95th Rifles are a Living History Society. As a regiment we
re-enact the lives of
soldiers and camp followers during the Napoleonic Wars, from
dramatic battles to period
encampments. Formed
in 1800 as ?The Experimental Corp of Riflemen? the 95th
were to fight in many a battle and build up such a
reputation as they would be known as the elite of the
British army. We
re-enact from 1800 to 1816, covering the whole of the
Peninsular War right up to the most decisive battle of all
time which was to change the course of history forever,
Waterloo.

51st
Light Infantry Napoleonic Re-enactment Group
We are a small group of re-enactors who are branching out on a new venture to represent the 51st (2nd Yorkshire, West Riding) Light Infantry from 1809 - 1815. This is a small part in the history of a well established and honourable Regiment which can trace it roots from 1755, evolving to become the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (KOYLI), but was also a time of great achievement and valiant acts during the struggles between Napoleon's Grand Armée and Wellington's army.

members dress in period uniforms and equipment, learn the
drill, and undertake the training and everyday activities of
the time. We are a living history, rather than a battle
re-enactment group.

Colchester Historical Enactment Society - 18th Century Maritime
Our aim is to be as authentic as possible in our representation of the costume and equipment of the "Golden Age" of pirates. However, The modern image of pirates has been so colored over the years by the works of illustrators such as Howard Pyle, and so in turn by the interpretations of Hollywood, that it has become almost impossible to separate the fact from the fiction. After a great deal of research and a visits to several collections of 18th century costume, including the Victoria & Albert museum, we believe that we have created as accurate as possible a representation of the costume and equipment of the "Gentlemen of Fortune" (and also the ladies) during the Golden Age of Piracy.

Our modern Heilbron Commando is composed of a number of
dedicated reenactment enthusiasts from the Netherlands and

this war, to arm ourselves with correct weapons and
equipment and to reproduce a camp as it might have looked at
the Siege of Ladysmith.

train a unit of soldiers to bridge a gap in this
under-represented period of British History.

The Regency Club
Our mutual aim is quality combined with
authenticity that existed in society in the early 19th
century Europe, and to reflect those times in which the ball
and battles seamlessly combined in that period; that jewels
and sword, Medals and Orders, silks, gold and silver lace,
bullion epaulettes, boots and dancing pumps were worn with
debonair nonchalance in the ballroom and scarcely caste off
before entering the battlefield.
