HIGHLAND BROADSWORD WORKSHOP & CAMP at the Milseburg, Hesse, Germany, 24–27 September 2027
Following the premiere of our event, we—the members of the re-enactment group *La compagnie des grenadiers du régiment Royal Écossois*—are delighted to invite you to our historical camp at the foot of the Milseburg.
A key feature of our event is a workshop focusing on combat using the Highland broadsword as the primary weapon and the targe (shield) as the secondary weapon. The session will be led by our member Heiko Große, Trainer at "Triskelion Armed Combat" and Full Instructor with the "Cateran Society".
Drawing on the techniques found in 18th-century fencing manuals—methods used by both civilian and military fencers that share strong parallels with the fighting styles of most regiments of that era—the workshop begins with the fundamental principles of sword handling, upon which we will build as the session progresses. Beginners and experienced fighters alike, whether from the world of sport fencing or historical reenactment, are warmly welcome.
The participation fee is €45.00 per person. We ask all participants to wear historically appropriate clothing corresponding to the period from 1740 to 1763. Please note that the event is also open to day visitors; they may participate in everyday clothing. As the number of participants is limited, please register promptly by emailing: [email protected]
Further information regarding the venue, travel, the daily schedule, rules, and camp life will follow in due course; registered participants will receive these details via email.
Come visit our historical camp in the beautiful Rhön region. We look forward to seeing you! ❤️
