Smallsword Symposium
The world’s first and largest event celebrating the art of smallsword, an elegant weapon for a more civilised age.
Hosted each year in Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh, participants will experience an exciting weekend of workshops and social activities. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet, network and socialise with the global historical fencing / HEMA community.
2025 Event
The next Smallsword Symposium will take place on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th October 2025.
We’ll provide more information in due course. Once we’ve finalised event plans, we’ll update this webpage with venue details, workshop and social activity timetables, guidance on travel and accommodation, equipment requirements and much more.
How To Book
The event will open for booking in February 2025.
Tickets will cost £150 per person, and can be purchased easily and conveniently through our online shop once they’re available.
