4-5 July, 2026
The Passage of Honour returns in 2026 as an intimate, immersive weekend of historical equitation and martial display, created for reenactors, jousters, armoured fencers, and medieval enthusiasts! With no public audience, this is a special event to be a part of the spectacle of the medieval tourney.
This is a private gathering where the world of the tournament comes alive: the lists, the pavilions, the music, the attendants, the heralds, the households, and the knights themselves. If you have ever wanted to spend a weekend living inside the atmosphere of a tournament, rather than performing for a crowd, this event is for you.
You are welcome to attend solo or as part of a full household or ensemble. Participants may come to witness the event or participate as a part of the list (joust or on-foot combat).
The Joust
Our traditional mounted passage of arms returns for another year.
Immediately preceeding the event is our 2-day summer training camp for jousters. Those attending the summer school during the week automatically have the option of a place in the joust, should they desire it. Learn More Here
On-Foot Tourney
Two days of small-group melee and 1-v-1 scenarios for men-at-arms with complete 15th century harness. Full equipment requirements and ruleset to follow, however largely armor-as-worn rules will apply.
Combatants will be placed into groups for small-group scenarios so that all may participate even if registering alone.
