WELCOME TO THE HOMEPAGE OF THE HARLECH MEDIEVAL SOCIETY Knights, Fights & Other Delights

The Society exists to recreate life and combat as it may have been in 12th & 13th Century England and Wales and to give audiences a better understanding of the weapons, history and politics of the era. All members of the Society are historical enthusiasts and give freely of their time to appear in shows and pageants at historical sites throughout the British Isles. Many of the members have also wielded arms on the television and big screen as extras inHistorical and Myth-and-Magic movies (more recently First Knight, Prince Valiant and Merlin) and in many educational/documentary programmes. The Society has recently started a specialist 'living history' and education venture to complement the well-established combat displays: this allows the Society to adapt to almost any combination of demands that sponsors of our shows require.  The same level of commitment and expertise is available to organisers  of commercial events.

STOP PRESS At last!! The site has been updated. Those nice people at BTInternet are now hosting this site (because GoFree.co.uk's ftp server never seemed to work!!) and we are back online! Foot-and-mouth disease achieves what war cannot--2 shows have been axed (ugh!) because of the (b)ovine flu. TRADERS BEWARE! Harlech shows are now Health and Safety Zones - so have your written risk assessments ready or face exile at sword-point. Use this link if you need to know more.

Harlech Medieval Society is pleased to be involved with the EU's Ireland-Wales Interreg Programme Interreg II (2000-2003)
