Learn to Wield a Sword Like a Knight!

Medieval knights trained rigorously before entering battle or tournament. Join the Constable of Goodrich for hands-on training and discover how a knight learned to fight. Participants will be taught the fundamentals of medieval sword use, including how to hold the sword correctly, proper footwork and distance, as well as basic cutting and thrusting techniques.

Training sessions take place at 11am, 12 noon, 1.30pm, and 2.30pm.

The class will be led by an accredited instructor and will be non-contact. Numbers may be restricted.
