Early Tudors /Blutfarne
The group also portrays a band of Landsknechts during the time of Henry VIII. This is a sight to be seen, with slashed and puffed clothes and more feathers than you can count. The cost for this is on a per-show basis, as it is a military show and depends on each individual event requirements.
How to book us
You need to book us well in advance; a minimum six months notice is usually required. We only do around eight shows a year (this is by choice) so we are very selective on the venues we choose. However, if you are tempted, you will be booking some of the finest re-enactment people in the World, so please get in touch. Our prices are negotiable and we are willing to alter them for unusual circumstances.
in the first instance please contact us via email to:- bookings@sirrobertcecilsmen.org.uk
