And we don’t just fight and play together. We feast, drink and party, too! Old comrades meet again and new friends are welcomed just as warmly at the Shattered Shield Tavern.

On Saturday night we dress in our finest costumes as assassins and amazons rub shoulders with paladins and pirates.

Watch (or even join in with!) the infamous Swordpunk Fire Circle, where fire and circus performers are joined by dancers, duellists, drummers and warriors with flaming weapons.

Then dance the night away in Rebels Corner, a cave of trees filled with the beats of drummers and blacksmiths by day and by the break beat mixes of our incredible live DJ by night.

Scheduled classes run over Friday and Saturday with Freeplay and Skillsharing on Sunday. And on Sunday afternoon join in with the archery battles and paddleboard jousting!

With so many activities on offer it can all seem a bit exhausting so you’re welcome to take things at your own pace and, at any time, go for a wander or relax on the beautiful estate, designed by Capability Brown.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Swordpunk Rugby XVI Food

We’re pleased to say that our caterers, Wrapture, are joining us again in May.

Wrapture was set up to bring together a love of falafel, festivals and fun. They make high quality falafels with a twist: beetroot falafels, pea falafels alongside the traditional falafel. They use high quality, fresh ingredients, and colourful salads all wrapped in tasty breads. Where possible they buy from local suppliers. Their falafels are vegetarian, vegan and also gluten free.

If you’d like to save yourselves the hassle of cooking some or all of your meals then you can order provisions by clicking HERE. Simply pick which meals you want to prebook on which days, add them to your bag and head to checkout to finalise your order.

Any questions please contact them directly at info@wrapturefood.co.uk and they’ll be happy to help.

Swordpunk Winsford I 26-28 July '24
Tickets now LIVE!

Experience all the fun and games you have learn to expect from Swordpunk but at our new venue, Winsford in Cheshire.

As this event is a pilot it will be smaller than the usual ones but no less special for that. The event will run from Friday until Sunday and tickets are available at the bargain price of £100.

Come and be part of our debut event at Bluebell wood!

If you would like to come along but would like to pay via online banking rather than Paypal (we love this as it saves on fees!) please drop Dan a line dan@swordpunk.co.uk and we can arrange this.

Please note that Swordpunk is an OVER 18 event. Special allowances may be made but only with prior consent. Please contact us with your enquiry and we’ll see what we can do.

Ticket sales are non refundable.

Swordpunk Rugby XVII 5-8 Sept '24
Tickets now LIVE!

Swordpunk Rugby runs from Thursday to Sunday early evening, however we understand that not everyone can get the time off work so we provide two ticket options (Thu-Sun and Fri-Sun).

Full priced tickets are available below. You can also secure your place with a deposit and pay the second installment by the end of July 2024.

Or spread the cost by paying in three installments as detailed in the drop down menu. If you choose to pay in installments, we’d really appreciate if you note the date so that you complete further payments at the same time each month. You can do this via Paypal or we can provide you with our bank details to pay directly through online banking.

After completing your payment you’ll receive a confirmation email, instructions on any further payments and information on the event closer to the time, so please provide us with an email address that you check regularly as it is our only means of communication with you.
