Someone just stole a canon… there was a skirmish. Muskets were fired. But… Who won? The Royalists or the Roundheads? @ecwsociety @lullingstonecastle
Stepping back in time to the turbulent 1640s, the English Civil War Society transformed Lullingstone Castle into a bustling Royalist garrison this weekend. Visitors found themselves immersed in a vivid living history experience, hosted by Lord Ralph Hopton’s and Sir Thomas Blackwell’s Regiments.
The action-packed weekend, included drill displays with live musket and cannon firing, children’s drill sessions, and skirmishes, all the while exploring the sights and sounds of an authentic encampment that truly brings the Civil War era to life.

Motivation Monday, we hope you saw us on Horseguards Parade on Sunday? It was a brilliant day at the Charles 1st Commemoration and great to catch up with so many spectators, members and friends from across the @ecwsociety 🏴⚔️
It was a very busy weekend for us as we entertained visitors to the @rlcmuseum on Saturday too!

Would you like to join in? If you want to try out reenacting or have seen us at any of our events drop us a message to join the regiment and take part! We have lots of civilian or military roles and there is something for everyone. Remember your first event (or first event returning) is absolutely free too!
You can fire a cannon, play the drums, be a musketeer or pikeman and fight for your King against the rebels! ⚔️🥁
If the military is not your thing then join the living history where you can learn any trade of the seventeenth century 👞🔨
We can't wait to see you in a field somewhere soon;

Time-travelled back to 1649 today at the Whitehall March. Hundreds of reenactors retraced King Charles I’s final steps to Banqueting House — a powerful blend of history, pageantry and remembrance. 🕯️👑 #london #londonevents #history #londonhistory @alexseale

WHITEHALL MARCH
In January 1649, King Charles I was led from St James’s Palace to Banqueting House, where he was publicly beheaded — ending the English Civil War.
Each January, royalist reenactors retrace his final walk through London.
History, briefly, walks again. #london #londonevents #reenactment #history #londonhistory

25 January 2026. The King's Army (the Royalist half of the EWCS) will march down the Mall onto Horse Guards Parade to commemorate the death of King Charles I. Whether it was a 'cruel and horrid murder', 'cruel necessity' or the death of a 'man of blood', this was one of the most significant events in British history. The march moves off at about 11.30. Being allowed to parade in such a prestigious location is a great privilege.

The English Civil War Society presents its final Major Battle of 2025 at the 'Military Odyssey' Show over August Bank Holiday Weekend. For three days, come and watch as we portray the famous Battle of Maidstone 1648 as the Veterans of Sir Thomas Fairfax' New Model Army clash with a motley assortment of old Royalist soldiers and newly-pressed volunteers making one final attempt to free the imprisoned King Charles I and restore him to the Throne. You can also see our Living History team represent both soldiers and civilians in Maidstone at the time of the Battle as they demonstrate Crafts and Trades of the time, and how to fire cannon and muskets or wield a Pike in combat.
We will have the only cavalry unit on display.
Our performance is one highlight of 'Military Odyssey, which is one of the largest Re-enactment Shows in Europe with over 100 Groups taking part from Ancient Greeks to World War II and beyond. You can find out more about Military Odyssey here:-https://militaryodyssey.com

This weekend! Our first major event of the season at St Ives (the Huntingdon one, not the Cornish one). As well as blowing up a bridge and battle displays, there will be a large living history display, 12.00-5.00 on the Saturday and 11.00-4.00 on the Sunday. (The picture is of the living history display at Colchester a couple of years ago)

Less than a fortnight to go before we blow up a bridge! (Not the one in the picture though). Thanks to Debra Pumfret for permission to use the photo which shows the Norfolk Trayned Bande crossing Julian's Bridge, Wimborne, at one of our events last year. The Trayned Bande will be our hosts in St Ives, Cambridge, over the weekend of 26-27 July.
