Historical Reenactment Group of Malta (HRGM)
HRGM was established in 1998 in time for the commemorations of the 200th anniversary of Bonapart’s arrival in Malta. The new recruits, distributed between two units of the Order, one depicting the first corps of the British Army and another Maltese insurgents, joined over four hundred reenactors from all over Europe, who came over to Malta to make this one of the most spectacular Napoleonic reenactment events ever held.
HRGM is dedicated to research of Malta’s past and recreating it today in the form of high quality, authentic living history military and civilian events. Currently with almost 100 members, the society is predominately involved in portraying events of the late 18th century and early 19th century, mostly the period of the Blockade of Malta and the Napoleonic Era. The Group has also a very active section engaged in Regency era dance events. HRGM is also involved in late Medieval re-enactment whereby its members portray Mdina’s civil militia as well as citizens of the walled city.
