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 August bank holiday weekend Buckinghams Retinue attended the Knights Tournament at Kenilworth Castle. We provided a living history camp as a backdrop to the tournament itself provided by the Warwick Warriors and musicians The Green Mathews.
The armoury, kitchen, bakery and craft displays all proved to be popular with visitors (more than 5,000 people attended the event across all 3 days), with positive feedback received both from members of the public throughout the day and event organisers.
Our next event will be Bromwich Hall, West Bromwich, 13th-14th September
The weather was dampened but our spirits were not as Buckingham's Retine once again returned to Skipton Castle! Despite the driving rain throughout both days, we persevered to put on our full timetable of activities, bringing the castle to life with a “Mediaeval Celebration” theme.
Archery, cooking, dance and crafts were all displayed, culminating in a grand tournament inside the ancient chapel ruins, and a knighting ceremony for long serving group member Rory!
Our next full group event will be Castle Rising, Norfolk, 2nd-3rd August.
