Getting started couldn’t be easier. Simply contact our Recruiting Sergeant at the address/phone number at the bottom of this page. He will tell you where and when Sir Thomas Tyldesley’s Regiment will next be in action. He will also answer any questions you may have and advise you on what, if any, equipment you may need. In the early stages, you will need very little other than some basic camping equipment - and we may even be able to help there. The Regiment will assist you with some costume, armour etc. to get you going, then it’s up to you how little, or how much, you want to get involved.

Some members prefer to equip themselves with authentic clothing, tents, equipment, and utensils so that they can really get into the “feel” of the 17^th Century. Others find they prefer a little more comfort and so use modern tents, caravans, or camper vans. It really is up to each individual.

The main thing is that the Regiment welcomes everyone, young, old, men, women, and children, and this really is the most original way I know of to meet new friends.

But why read about us when you can come along as a guest for just £5 the entire event (to cover insurance) and find out for yourself.
