Membership

Join a community of practice and knowledge

Membership is not a subscription to a spectacle. It is entry into a working community where people study, make, teach and train together.

Ways to participate

There is more than one way in

Train longsword and companion disciplines from the historical sources, from first class to tournament.

Build kit: clothing, armour, leather, metalwork — with guidance from experienced makers.

Work with sources, translate, document reconstructions and present at internal seminars.

Develop a craft skill within the community workshop programme.

Take part in festivals, demonstrations, camps and museum programmes.

Teach, guide the public, or work on photography, film and digital historical media.

How it works

Tell us which branch you are near and what draws you — martial practice, making, or research.

Come to an open training or an event and meet the people you would be working alongside.

Agree a starting point with a mentor: a discipline, a first reconstruction project, or both.

Formal membership, access to the workshops, the library and the internal programme.

You do not need experience, equipment, or a background in history. You need curiosity and the willingness to work.
