The Grey Company is a group based in Perth, Western Australia, which puts on displays of historical re-enactment focusing on the Dark Ages and Medieval times.

Most of our displays are centred on the so-called Dark Ages of European History (600-1100AD). While our displays are primarily of weapons and combat, we are not a martial arts group, concentrating more on entertaining an audience than on the realistic use of weapons.

Apart from entertaining, we also try to educate members of the public about life as it really was in days long past. Where possible we are happy to arrange displays for schools where children have the opportunity to see and feel items which they would otherwise only learn about from books.

Most of the clothing, weapons and armour are made by members of the group. Finding out how to do this involves some of the members of the group in detailed research in areas of history, as well as the practical aspects of actually making items. To help with this we hold regular workshops primarily for the production of clothing and equipment including weapons and armour.
