What We Do

We aim to re-create the life of the regiment during the turbulent years of the Peninsula Campaign (1808-1814) and participate in events throughout the UK and abroad; with so many significant bicentennial events due over the next five years we’re in for an exciting time. So far we’re celebrated bicentennials at Walcheren, Almeida and Busaco and are looking forward to future commemoration events.

As part of the Napoleonic Association we enjoy many UK events in a season that runs from April to September. The regimental militia helped to guard the prisoners of war at Norman Cross, so it is a pleasure to participate in living history events in Peterborough and the surrounding area. And we dress up and wind down at our AGM and party on Trafalgar Day each year, a good round-up to the season.

So why not join us and forget about this century in an authentic and fun living history camp, with our great fireside cooking?

Come and try out a weekend re-enacting with us – depot kit will be loaned to you to give you plenty of time to sample the hobby before purchasing your own kit. Single people, couples and families welcome; children not devoured.
