Welcome to Earl Rivers' Regiment of Foote
If you are looking for the Donnington Castle Garrison, please click here. If you are here for Earl Rivers' Regiment, please read on.
The Regiment is part of The Sealed Knot Society, (SK), being part of the largest re-enactment society in Europe we travel to destinations across the UK, with thousands of others, to re-enact the English Civil Wars. But not only do we re enact the historic battles with Pike, Musket, Horse, Cannon and Drum, our ever growing Regiment has taken on new civilian and Military roles who can all be seen at our local Regimental events as well as at our larger living history displays with the Sealed Knot.
The modern regiment has been active in the Thames Valley area for over 40 years and now has members in Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and Buckinghamshire.
Throughout the year we gather for training, living history demonstrations, school visits, skirmishes and full battle reenactments. Each season begins at Shaw House or Donnington Castle our ancestral home near Newbury, where we train, recruit and welcome new members.
If you would like to find out more about joining this amazing hobby, please contact us through the Joining Us link. We look forward to welcoming you and helping make your first event a memorable weekend away.
