How you can be a part of it
With 52 teams now confirmed at the Festival we have reluctantly had to take the decision to close the Sword Spectacular to new teams.
However, we still have a very limited number of individual tickets available for those who book in advance. We can also accept a small number of additional bookings from members of participating teams.
To join in, please see the form on the media page.
We are also interested in hearing from school groups who might be interesting in taking part, either in specially-organised schools events in York on the Friday daytime, 23 May - see below - or over the weekend.
You can also learn the Haxby Longsword Dance in a free workshop at Haxby Village Hall at 2.3pm on Monday 26 May. Open to all, including beginners, just turn up!
