 The Taunton Garrison can provide a wide range of entertainment both military and civilian from the late sixteenth to late seventeenth century.  We perform various Living History skills, music and sketches both dramatic and humourous, also small skirmishes and weapons demonstrations.

 We cover three main historical periods - The Spanish Armada of 1588, the English Civil War of the 1640's and the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685.
