Silver School of Arms

We support family-focused events with exciting fight demonstrations using a range of different steel replica weapons.

 

Our weapons are all based on real archaeological examples. At our events we offer opportunities to take a closer look at the weapons we use, try handling them, and learn about their use.

 

You can find us at historic sites throughout Lancashire and Greater Manchester every summer. Take a look at our gallery for photos from our events.
