Godalming Staycation
School of the Sword turned out in force to the Godalming Staycation this past weekend. The weather was great and there was a huge turnout for the live music and events put on. We had our own stand and arena.
Not only did we talk to people about the school (Yes, the swords are real. No, it’s not choreographed. Yes, we do two-handed stuff) but we gave taster lessons and used our arena to not only showcase what we do but to also get in some last minute practise ahead of Fightcamp.

Jane Austen Regency Week
School of the Sword was pleased to be be invited to take part in the Jane Austen Regency Week held in Alton, Hants yesterday.
Offering ‘have a go’ sessions, as well a chance to see and handle the weapons we use, members participated in displays of historical fencing. Starting with the smallsword of the Regency period, we proceeded to the rapier and sidesword of the Renaissance, as well as their companion arms.
It was a fun, relaxed day, in a beautiful historic town. We look forward to the next summer event where we will be at Godalming Staycation. See you there!
