Immerse yourself in the world of The Company of 1415, where the battles, bravery, and life of the medieval era are brought to life with passion and authenticity. Our re-enactment group transports you to the early 15th century, a time when knights, squires, and archers honed their skills in preparation for war, and the clash of steel on steel echoed across the battlefield.
At the heart of our encampment are the warriors. Watch skilled archers as they prepare for long-range combat, their arrows hand-crafted by Ray, our expert fletcher. Meanwhile, knights don their armour with the aid of loyal squires, stepping into formation to bring the chivalric combat of the Hundred Years’ War to life. From archery displays to fully armoured knights engaging in thrilling, authentic battle reenactments, The Company of 1415 captures the intensity of medieval warfare.
While our roots lie in the conflicts of the early 1400s, we also bring to life the turbulent Wars of the Roses, where the struggle for the English crown shaped the course of history. Our re-enactments span this period, showcasing the evolution of medieval combat, tactics, and equipment.
Beyond the battlefield, a vibrant medieval community thrives in our encampment. Lou the Weaver is often seen spinning or weaving, creating intricate textiles using traditional techniques. Richard, our master tailor and cordwainer, ensures our knights are outfitted with sturdy shoes and authentic clothing, skillfully crafted to withstand the rigours of medieval life. Meanwhile, the camp’s heart beats in the kitchen, where Jenny, our head cook, tends to open fires and prepares hearty, authentic meals to sustain both warriors and artisans alike.
We are proud to be a family-friendly group, where history is not just watched—it’s experienced by all. Children play a special role in camp life, often seen enjoying authentic medieval games, learning the ways of the time, and sharing in the excitement of the era alongside their families. Whether you’re inspired by the thrill of archery, eager to don armour and fight, or drawn to the quieter arts of medieval life, there’s a place for everyone in The Company of 1415.
Step into history with The Company of 1415, and experience the past as it was meant to be—lived, learned, and shared with all.
