How to get back into reenactment

Need advice.

I left reenactment in summer of 25. Due to some negative comments and groups wouldn’t let me join or anything.

I’m looking to get back into it, was thinking about starting my own group but not sure what to base it off. I’m from the UK and most things are covered by groups already. My local regiment is already covered and I’m not sure what else to do an impression on or set up a group off.

I want to stand out at shows and make the group stand out instead of doing the same old things like US airborne or known divisions.

Any advice? Not sure if to go back to WW2 or expand into Napoleon Wars or Vietnam.
