How to become a member of

17th Century Life & Times

Back to main page

     Interested in joining us?

     We are a friendly society that welcomes new members either from other groups or if you are new to re-enactment.

     The 17th Century is one of the cheapest re-enactment periods to portray, and can be one of the most enjoyable. Most re-enactors start on the re-enactment road with the Civil War period, some move on to other eras but most get bitten by the bug and stay. Some of our members have been doing the 17th century for 40 years and still love it.

     We are a family focused group with most members bringing their family's along to join in with the fun. Children play as much a part in our events as the adults, most of them stealing the lime light and the thunder from us. We try as a group to show 17th Century life not just the military side, with roles as household members, camp followers and civilians all having a major part in our scenarios as well as the soldiers.

     We focus on looking right and getting it right, All new members will be lent all necessary items of until the time come when you want to join our ranks as a full member.   We hope that new members wishing to stay with us have at least a pair of authentic shoes and a linen shirt/chemise by the first year. With members of our group updating there kit there are always plenty of cheap items of kit for sale.
