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.
One of our most popular venues, the group had a brilliant weekend in Skipton where we once again brought the castle to life!

Thank you to everyone who came to see our talks on medieval cooking, etiquette and nobility, dancing, archery, St George and the Dragon play and our climactic combat display!

Archery and firepower
Some members of the group will next be attending the Battle of Bosworth reenactment, 22nd and 23rd August.
Following on from the battle events at Barnet and Tewkesbury, Buckingham’s Retinue returned to Castle Rising in Norfolk over the weekend of 18th and 19th of July!

Another group favourite, all our usual living history camp displays were popular with the public, along with our timetabled talks on medieval food, medicine, music and dance and combat.
A well received talk on cooking
Vic almost surrouned talking about medieval medicine.
Group member Josh also organised the cooking for the event and pulled out all the stops to recreate an exquisite dish of frumenty and venison, following his research into the deer parks that surrounded the castle in the middle ages.
Our next event will be Skipton Castle, 25th and 26th July!
