EPiSODE #4 – 29th Aug 2026 – 10:00
York Railway Institute, YO24 1AD
Here at Ecky Thump! we are hosting three open categories throughout the day. These are very loosely based on three distinct historical time periods in order to facilitate fun and varied fencing.
MEDiEVAL : Longsword, federschwert, messer, arming sword, off-hand rondel dagger or off-hand bucklers (used alongside messer and arming sword).
RENAiSSANCE : Dussack, rapier, sidesword, a case of sideswords, and off-hand parrying daggers, cloaks and bucklers for rapiers and sideswords.
REVOLUTION : Basket hilted broadsword and backsword, sabre, spadroon, colichemarde, smallsword, cutlass.
The three tournaments are run sequentially in order to allow you to enter all three, something we highly encourage!
Medals will be awarded at the end of the day once all three categories have been played.
The doors for the venue will open at 09:30. We’ll commence with a kit check at 10:00 – 10:30 and we’ll get straight into the medieval category. There will be a short break in between each category. The day will conclude when we’re done!
Each category costs £20 to enter, and if you enter all three you receive a £10 discount. Please complete the booking form below to enter.
Tickets are cancellable up to 30 days before the event for a full refund. After that date you will be able to transfer your booking to a future Ecky Thump instead.
