We are Lord Saye and Sele's Blew Regiment of Foote.

We're a regiment within the Sealed Knot, Europe's largest historical re-enactment group, who specifically portray members of Banbury's local regiment during the English Civil Wars. 

​

But who are we? 

Alongside re-enacting battles and performing demonstrations, there is a great social side to our regiment.

I'll be honest, we're a hodge-podge of chaps, chapettes and chaplings from around the UK - with our real lives ranging from Forklift Operators to EMTs, Ex-Forces Lorry Drivers to University-Fresh Teaching Assistants, babies taking their first steps to comfortably-retired folk. We're by no means the biggest regiment out there, but I feel like we can all agree we've found ourselves a little bit of a second family.

Not only do we work well during the battles themselves (at least I reckon so), but afterwards when we trudge to the campsite for some well-earned rest, there'll be plenty of chatter, laughs and maybe a few cans of... Pepsi.  

​​​

And rest assured, we aren't actual puritans! We celebrate Christmas by doing more than sitting quietly and reading the bible, and we certainly don't care much for porridge. Well, Andy probably does, but that's Andy for you.

Not only are we, as people, utterly glorious and handsome and pretty and practically perfect in every way (Don't put that on the website, Mike), but the Sealed Knot as an organisation has a wonderful and abundant cluster of Riff-Raff.
