Welcome to our Multiple Era Re-enactment Acting Guild!
Portraying the people of the Isle of Mann and all those
that land upon its shores.
Thistle House is an historical re-enactment guild which trains new folk in the ways of a Renaissance
actor and promotes the teaching of history to our young at heart. Welcoming all those willing to learn how to portray people
of that time period and experience history as an actor in an actual reconstructed encampment at a Renaissance Fair. We train

Our specific purpose is to teach history by means of re-enactment and visual
demonstration. The guild is led by credentialed teachers of Arts, Theatre, Science, and History. There are many reasons why
one should consider becoming part of our organization, especially if he or she loves history, its speech, clothing, foods, crafts
and weaponry. We teach our members these topics so they can enlighten others.
