Today, Free Company are a motley group of about 50 reenactors, based across England and Wales. Some have been with the group reenacting since the 1980s, while others have joined more recently in the 21st Century - some have even been born into the group, with 3rd-generation members frequently seen at events! Together, we have experience of demonstrating and performing at shows focused on Iron Age Celts and Roman Era Britain, the 11th Century Norman Conquest, 13th Century Crusaders and Barons Wars, 15th Century Wars of the Roses, 16th Century German Landsknecht Bands, and Napoleonic-era Infantrymen and Engineers (and smugglers...)

Outside of reenacting, our members include educators, performers, conservationists, archaeologists, heritage workers, and events managers, with many of our members having backgrounds in the military, emergency services, and public-speaking. This means we have a unique combination of individuals with both the knowledge of the eras we depict, as well as the skills to communicate this to wider audiences. Our members are able to demonstrate crafts such as weaving and metalworking, cooking and aspects of daily life, as well as the ever popular military demonstrations and armoury. Crucially, we also have a professional understanding of performance and risk management, and are able to work with you to ensure an immersive experience without compromising on visitor safety.
