Historia Normannis
Historia Normannis prides itself on offering a high-quality, exciting and historically accurate range of event options to a wide client base. At over 600 members across all of Britain, we are one of the biggest medieval re-enactment societies there is.
Members of the public are invited to experience history first-hand, handling reproduction artefacts and exploring the living conditions of a 12th-century army on the march. Whether providing a small tourney, or a large set-piece battle, Historia Normannis brings history to life!
Whether it be forming a small part of a larger event, the centrepiece of a historical pageant or a completely independent show, Normannis’ dedicated membership offer an engaging and enthusiastic insight into life and death almost nine centuries ago- – portraying an authentic 12th-century military camp, including camp followers, nobles and even accompanying clerics.
Their clients have included the BBC, English Heritage, Cadw, and many independently owned heritage sites across the UK.
