Join the Redline Home Guard as we bring history to life at events across the region. From living history displays to military re-enactments, we’ll be showcasing the equipment, tactics, and spirit of the Home Guard during World War II.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, re-enactor, or just curious to learn more, our events offer a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience firsthand what it was like to defend Britain on the Home Front.
Below you’ll find a list of all the events we’re planning to attend in 2025, along with details of our training evenings. Be sure to check back regularly, as new events and training dates may be added throughout the year.
