About this Event

“Write what you know” - that’s what they tell you. But how do you write what you know when your story involves a swordfight? Now you can find out!

Join fantasy author Catch Tilly and professional swordsman Mark Holgate for a unique hands-on workshop exploring the reality of medieval combat and how to bring it authentically to the page.

Handle a real sword, try on genuine armour and learn the fundamentals of medieval combat before putting your experience into words. Discover how movement, weapons and physicality can add depth and authenticity to your fight scenes.

Whether you’re writing fantasy, historical fiction or simply want to know what it’s really like to fight in armour, this is a workshop no writer should miss.
