Event Description

The time has come to once again announce the Swords of Imbolg. This year our flagship two day event will be slightly different.

Saturday 31st of January will be the first leg of the IHFL 2026; featuring two tier longsword action.

Day two will take us to a mysterious second location for a longsword class delivered by the talented Connor Kemp-Cowell of Caledonian Sword Guild. Rated in the top 2% globally he literally wrote the book on Vadi and has lots to teach us. More details to follow.

The second location is Flagmount Community Hall - just 13 minutes aaway from Feakle (https://maps.app.goo.gl/5sDS8aN837tEHScs8)

In between there will be the usual Saturday evening meal and jaunt to a local hostelry for refreshments as the night progresses.
