The Art That Adorns You

4th & 5th April 2026

“Practice Knighthood, and learn, Art that adorns you, And in wars brings honor. Wrestle well, grappler Glaive, spear, sword, and knife” 1452, Rome, Biblioteca dell’Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei e Corsiniana, Cod.44.A.8, fol 9v.3.

The Art That Adorns You is the friendliest, happiest HEMA event you’ll ever visit (in our very biased opinion!) Come and spend an otherwise dull Easter weekend with us each year. Play with swords, do some punching, try a bit of grappling, and join us on Saturday night for a tremendous amount of pizza and a fabulous, chaotic pub quiz. There will be space hoppers, and the 2025 bouncy castle will be back for 2026! Don’t be a Tryhard, come and join us and have some fun with HEMA!
