National Association of Re-enactment Societies
# National Association of Re-enactment Societies

The National Association of Re-enactment Societies (NAReS) was formed in 1991 and is a UK organisation that brings together UK historical re-enactment groups.

## Objectives

Its aim is to take the lead in safety standards and professionalism within historical re-enactment.

## Activities

It acts as a liaison and negotiating body between UK government, other legislative bodies and the police. Guidance on a wide range of topics (e.g. Health & Safety, Firearms) is issued and conferences and training events are held for re-enactment societies throughout the United Kingdom.
