Cardiff Castle Garrison
Now recruiting!
Welcome to the Cardiff Castle Garrison website.
We are a medieval living history re-enactment society. We focus on the reign of Edward III, specifically the years 1350-1370. The reigns we cover is detailed under our Timeline pages.
As a group we aim to be historically accurate. The aim of our society is to entertain, educate and inspire a desire to learn more about history, and, of course, for our audience to have enjoyed themselves. Our shows can include the following:
- A living history camp demonstrating medieval life.
- Combat, archery, crafts, blacksmithing and cooking demonstrations.
- Talks on weapons, armour, crafts, cooking and archery.
- Combat and history talks showing the weaponry and armour that was used during our period and how it was used. You will also have the chance to examine the armour, weaponry and craft items close up. The members of Cardiff Castle Garrison are available throughout the day during shows to talk to the public, demonstrate skills and answer any questions posed to them.
- An opportunity to have a go at archery or to sponge a fool who is locked in the stocks.
Our camps, archery range and combat demonstrations take place in roped arenas, and members are on hand to supervise at all times.
