Congratulations to Chloe Headdon and Jenny Ingham who win entry to any Wessex League event this year - prizes for 3rd place in the Novice and Mixed Weapons competitions at By the Sword this weekend.

A weekend women's Historical European martial arts event to relax with workshops, freeplay, tournaments and fun times. We welcome transmen and non binary folk too.

The event will be suitable for all levels of experience, and classes will range from stretching and movement to grappling and striking, and all the way up to thrusting weapons.

Tickets are £50 for the full weekend and £30 for the Saturday (workshops) or Sunday (panel and friendly tournaments). Ticket prices include refreshments, snacks and lunch both days. There will be a social event on the Saturday night which all are welcome to. We look forward to seeing you!
