Welcome to Buckingham's Retinue, one of the more authentic medieval re-enactment groups for the period 1450-1500. Our society is a non profit organisation that exists to reconstruct and re-enact late medieval and early tudor life, recreating the period known as 'The Wars of the Roses'.
Please feel free to contact us.
Over the Bank Holiday weekend we returned to the Avoncroft Museum of Historical Buildings to take part in their Mediaeval Life event.

Our next and final event of the year will be at the Bromwich Hall Manor House Museum, West Bromwich on 16th & 17th September. See the Manor House Museum website for further information: Bromwich Hall - West Bromwich Manor House Museum | Bromwich Hall - The Manor House Museum | Sandwell Council.
The group recently took a supporting role in the Legendary Joust event for English Heritage, held at the wonderful Eltham Palace in London. Buckingham's Retinue, along with other members of Livery and Maintenance, provided living history throughout the day, despite the heavy showers.
