It’s sad but true, our next event at Great Tew has been cancelled 😔
But do we let it get us down!!! NO!
We jump straight into finding something else to do instead ✨ Huzzahhhhh.
Thanks to our quick think CO and 2IC It’s a HAWKINS HOLIDAY ☀️
As a regiment we do far more than reenact 17th century history, we also like:
⛺️ Camping
🪩 Dancing
🎸 Live music
🏰 Sightseeing ( find us a castle )
🎲 Boardgames
🎮 Gaming
🍻 Social gatherings ( may or not be 🎤)
With plenty of other common interests which we enjoy together.
So instead of fighting the good fight ⚔️ we shall enjoy some social time, in field , still have fun 🤩 with out the excessive wool.
Until next time……..🙌🏻
Colonel Stephen Hawkins' Regiment of Foote
Wecome to Hawkins! Our Regiment prides itself on inclusivity of all members, and continued historical reenactment within The Sealed Knot.
We love:
Festivals, gigs, board games, family activites, camping and getting together “off season” too. Welcome to the official page for Colonel Stephen Hawkins' Regiment of Foote, part of The Sealed Knot re-enactment society. Here you will find information about us as a regiment, who we are and what we do. Along with details of forthcoming events hosted by Hawkins, including our annual muster at Basing House.
Kinda chic to try:
Pike
Drums
Musket
Water carrier
Fancy trying something new?
Enjoy camping?
History?
Drop us a message and you can join us at August Bank Holiday for the whole weekend.
Experience is not necessary.
We have spare kit available so no need to go shopping yet ( although when you do, it will be addictive).

💥 Street Fighter 💥
Last Saturday a couple of lonely Hawkins went along to support at The Battle of Coleford.
Saturdays entertainment was brought out into the streets, with live action musket fire and small skirmishes.
Not all reenactment events happen in a field or on an estate. We can take the action into towns and create a huge presence, chatting with locals and drinking in the pubs too 🍻
