Did you know that Europe has its own martial tradition, with a range of armed and unarmed fighting styles? From medieval times to the modern age, martial artists have written down the techniques and musings of their chosen art, and this art has bloomed in the new millennium as thousands of people pick up the old manuscripts and bring the old fighting styles back to life. The historical fencing club EHMS offers you the chance to come and try out historical fencing. Find out what a real sword feels like in your hand! Protective gear is provided. We ask that only people over the age of 13 participate.
Swords, shields and manuscripts, oh my! Give historical fencing a try.

Content warnings: Historical fencing is a martial art involving swords, and is inherently a physical, weapons based activity which may intimidate some people. We will be accommodating to people's needs, and anyone who wants to give a sword a whirl will have the opportunity to do so.
