Knights, Fights and Other Delights!
We exist to recreate life and combat as it may have been in 13th Century England and Wales and to give audiences a better understanding of the life, history, politics and warfare of the era. Visitors to Harlech Medieval Society shows are treated to a multitude of spectacular sights and experiences. As well as Harlech's unique and memorable combat displays, guests can tour the living history village, with smithy, apothecary and travelling reliquary amongst the highlights.
All members of the Society are historical enthusiasts and give freely of their time to appear in shows and pageants at historical sites throughout the British Isles. Many members are experts within their field and are more than happy to help with any queries you may have. The society has also wielded arms on the television and big screen as extras in Historical and Myth-and-Magic movies and in numerous educational and documentary programmes.
The Society has several programmes and displays to cater for public displays and educational groups of all levels. We now present a specialist living history and education venture to complement our well known, long established combat displays: this allows the Society to adapt to almost any combination of demands that sponsors of our shows require. The same level of commitment and expertise is available to organisers of commercial events.
Harlech Medieval Society is pleased to be involved with the EU's Ireland-Wales Interreg Programme, improving research in cross-border medieval history with our Irish sister group; the Leinster Re-enactment Society. Interreg II1A (2001-2005)
