Did you watch us re-enact the English Civil War in Nantwich at the weekend?
Just think – YOU could join us as we bring history to life across the country, camping in some of the most spectacular locations in England, Scotland, and Wales, having great fun afterwards by socialising around the campfire or down the beer tent, and making great new friends – whether you’re on your own or part of a family!
2018 promises to be a fantastic year of events for us so if you’ve ever thought about having a go at historical re-enactment it really couldn’t be easier to join the Earl of Manchester’s Regiment of Foote. Just visit our website for more information and then go to the contacts page to find a member that’s close to you! If you’ve got questions about the hobby, such as how much it costs and what it entails, you should definitely check out our Frequently Asked Questions page which hopefully answers them – being in the Sealed Knot is the easiest and most family-friendly way to get into re-enactment!

And don’t forget that Manchester’s is great for kids too – we talked to some of the youngsters who form the future of our regiment:
Convinced? We’re always on the look out for new recruits – you don’t need to be an ‘expert’ on history or know lots about the English Civil War, just think of its as a cross between a music festival, a rugby match, and a party afterwards! Just imagine taking on one of these roles on the battlefield.
