About GSM Bristol

Gentlemen Have A Care!

Our aim is to present the impression of a militia of England prior to the onset of the first Spanish Armada. We are citizen soldiers working with military actions of the day including pike, shotte, small arms and artillery.

We pride ourselves in our ability to showcase daily life in the form of entertainment, crafts, cooking, and more!

There are so many fantastic photographers that visit the shows that we perform at and take absolutely beautiful photographs. So many times we are tagged in these photos, shared them with friends, or find them randomly online. We don't always know who took the photo, who to give credit to, or who to ask permission from to use it. We love featuring the craft that those with a camera are able to produce and if we use one of your photographs please let us know so we can give credit where credit is due. On the same note if you wish us not to use a photo for any reason just let us know and we will remove it.
