the understanding and practice of
Battlefield Guiding
The International
Guild of Battlefield Guides
Welcome to the international
Guild of Battlefield Guides
Whether you are an established Battlefield Guide, retired from the craft, interested in how it is done, or even if you are
considering a future in guiding, the international Guild of Battlefield Guides is for you.
We strive to analyse, develop and raise the understanding and practice of battlefield guiding, provide an
environment to meet fellow guides and share information, expertise and knowledge on a wide range of issues.
We offer professional development, insights into new approaches and areas of interest, and through our
validation programme, give guides a chance to prove they meet exacting standards.
Since its inauguration in 2003 the Guild has grown, both in numbers and stature. We now welcome members from Canada, South
Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, France, Luxembourg and Holland. So whether your interest and expertise lie in the
Battles of Barnet, Blenheim, Badajoz, Blood River or Beaumont Hamel you will find Guild members who share your passion and
enthusiasm for history and guiding.

Why different badges?
All members are entitled to wear the Guild pin.
Only those members who have successfully qualified as guides can wear the Guild's Guide badge,
which is instantly recognisable by its red infill.
Help for Heroes
The Guild has been proudly supporting the H4H's Big Battlefield Bike Ride since its inception in 2008.
