John Bright’s Regiment of Foote

We re-create the time of the ‘English Civil War’.  A time when England was in turmoil and brother could fight brother, and father against son. This was a time that affected every man and woman in the country and for better or worse, its outcome has played a huge part in shaping the country we live in today.

Colonel Valentine Walton’s Regiment of Foote

We combine a progressive attitude towards improving our understanding of the Civil War period with a determination to have fun. That is why a sense of humour is essential – we most definitely disprove the theory that you have to be stuffy to be interested in authenticity.
