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.
Upcoming Event
The next Smallsword Symposium is tentatively scheduled for Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th October 2026. We’ll be planning the event in due course, and will confirm details in early 2026.
