Historia Normannis Reading

A 12th-century reenactment group

Historia Normannis prides itself on offering a high-quality, exciting and historically accurate range of event options to a wide client base such as the BBC, English Heritage, Cadw, and many independently owned heritage sites across the UK.

Members of the public are invited to experience history first-hand, handling reproduction artefacts and exploring the living conditions of a 12th century army on the march. Whether providing a small tourney, or a large set-piece battle, Historia Normannis brings history to life!

Normannis’ dedicated members offer an engaging and enthusiastic insight into life and death almost nine centuries ago - portraying an authentic 12th century military camp, including camp followers, nobles and even accompanying clerics.
