About Us - Who we are & what we do

        You'll find more pictures of the team and our encampment on our Facebook Page

        We are a medieval reenactment society depicting the life of a medieval household, helping defend England from raids and competing in tournaments during the late fourteenth & early fifteenth centuries.

(The rule of the House of Lancaster)

Some members also take part in battles of the period known as The Wars of The Roses,

We then portray the household of Sir Richard Tunstall KG.

 Though based in the medieval town of Boston, our membership extends throughout Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire.

All members are volunteers who gladly devote their time to educating & entertaining the general public.

The Knights of Skirbeck are proud to be a member of

 The Wars of The Roses Federation.

As seen on TV - You may have seen us on BBC TV's The One Show and Look North, Ch5's Bargain Loving Brits, films such as Gangsters, Guns and Zombies, or Outlaw and possibly even documentaries such as Prepare For Battle and Big Narstie The Real Game of Thrones - among others.

We are based in Boston, Lincolnshire, and our household includes Knights, Squires, Men-at-arms, Militia, Ladies, Cooks, a Wise woman and assorted Camp followers.

 The Knights of Skirbeck was formed by 3 experienced medieval re-enactors in early 2008 and has gone from strength to strength.

"Where do you sleep?" - Is a question we frequently get asked, the answer? in the very tents you're looking at.

"A unique blend of living history and entertainment".

Reenactment combat - Until they see one of our shows, people often say, "You don't really hit each other though do you?".  Many of us in The Knights of Skirbeck like to fight 'Full Contact'. This does NOT however mean we flail indiscriminately or try to knock our opponent over. What it does mean is that we strike specific strike points on our opponent without pulling the blows. Imagine a 3kg. steel bar travelling at over 200 miles per hour, hitting you full on the head - that's REAL full contact combat - Knights of Skirbeck style!

If you think our fights are choreographed, or that the weapons are not real, or perhaps you just like watching people hitting each other - hard - watch some of our videos
