Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties
Married life is its own challenge, can you handle ours?

- Learn the basics of movement, posture, attack and defence in fun interactive games that get everyone involved.
- Try out the arts of the rapier, longsword, sword and shield, quarterstaff and more.
- Handle real swords and armour in your class and in our interactive museum.

Safety Assurance
All special event training is conducted under the eye of experienced instructors. We use special blunted practice swords or nylon/padded weapons (as appropriate to topic and audience) and anytime we are doing contact striking we use safety equipment made for comfort and protection. All exercises are done with control and respect in a fun and engaging environment.
As with any physical activity there is some risk of injury. Participants with existing health problems should inform the instructor before training.
