ABOUT
A living history group in the heart of Sheffield.
Knights in Battle is a 15th Century living history group based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. We portray members of the household of Sir John Howard, who later became the first Duke of Norfolk and was an influential figure within the politics of UK and further afield.
A decent contingent of our group also portray a group of knights and their squires in the 13th Century. We mainly portray what happens in and around a tournament of that period.
Knights in Battle also known affectionately by its members as KiBs, has been around since 1973 and is one of the oldest and most respected living history groups in the wider
re-enactment community.
We offer 13th Century Tournament style shows, and 15th Century Living History. If you would like to book us for a show then please use the form on the Contact Us page.

The End for 2024....or is it?
Though it's only September as this is being written, we're rapidly coming towards the end of the 2024 re-enactment season, with only one large event left. An event at Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings in Bromsgrove marks the end of the season, and the start of preparation for next year. However, us in Knights In Battle are fortunate that we have a good few events coming up at Dronfield Hall Barn, a fantastic building and events venue that dates from the mid 15th Century. To see what we'll be getting up to, please check out the events, and news pages.
Battle of Bosworth
What an event. What a location. What a fantastic community.
Bosworth for many, is the last large battle event of the season, taking place in mid-August, it's always a tough, and incredibly warm event, but absolutely worth it. The event takes place at the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre, and can only be described as a festival in it's own right. I think I can speak for the community as a whole when I say it was a fantastic event.
TORM & ARM
November, marks the month that the greatest, and largest re-enactment market takes place in the UK.
