When?
Saturday the 30th of November. Booking will open to the general public on the 26th of August at whatever time I get out of bed that morning.
Where?
York, UK, at the YSD’s regular training venue. (The Melbourne Centre, Escrick Street, YO10 4AW). The 2025 edition will happen in Glasgow.
Will there be broadswords?
Yes. Basket hilted swords of all kinds are fine, broadsword fest just sounded better.
Will there be backswords?
Yes. They’re peachy and we love them, as long as they have basket hilts and are essentially single edged broadswords.
How about spadroons?
Yep. They’re the misunderstood nibling of the basket-hilted broadsword/backsword.
What about sabres?
Go and wash your filty mouth out with soap.
What kind of event is it?
One where you’ll learn things, cut things, and get to bop people on the noggin with a singlestick for prizes.
How much is it?
Fifty shiny pounds to be paid digitally.
