The English Civil War Society comprises two armies, The King's Army (Royalist) and The Roundhead Association (Parliamentarian). Each army is self-governing and each has several Regiments with unique identities. You can choose which Army and which Regiment you want to join. Start by clicking on a tab below to select an army and to review information about its regiments, then go to the Ready to join? tab to request membership information.
King's Army Regiments
Below we will be showing a list of the regiments that form The King's Army. Only regiments that have provided information about themselves are shown here. Click on a regiment name to view a short description together with a link to a page containing more information about the regiment and how to request membership information.
Lord Ralph Hopton’s Regiment of Foote is one of several Royalist regiments. English Civil War Society regiments are not regionally based so it doesn't matter where in the country you live. We meet up at different venues throughout the country during the summer months, staging living history displays and recreating civil war battles for family audiences.
Roundhead Association Regiments
Below we will be showing a list of the regiments that form The Roundhead Association. Only regiments that have provided information about themselves are shown here. Click on a regiment name to view a short description together with a link to a page containing more information about the regiment and how to request membership information.
The Social Side
Our members come to events from all over the country so having somewhere to stay for the weekend is essential. Social weekends with free camping is part of the membership deal but you do have to bring your own tent, caravan or motorhome! You can view a few gallery images of a typical campsite at a large event by clicking here.

Ready to join?
When you join the The English Civil War Society you become a member of a regiment in one of the two opposing armies, The King's Army (the Royalist side) or The Roundhead Association (the Parliamentarian side). We recommend that you read the short informative articles about each regiment before making your choice. You can find these by selecting the tabs to the left of this one.
If you click on one of the army names below you will see a form that allows you to select a regiment within that army and to ask for information about joining it. A message will be sent to the appropriate membership secretary who will reply as soon as they can.
