Where medieval warriors come to life. This is where history, combat, and festival energy meet.

This event will immerse you in the exciting and tough world of Buhurt – a full-contact medieval combat sport. Imagine a day spent inside the breathtaking Kirkstall Abbey, watching fully armoured fighters clash in brutal 5v5 battles. Between the matches you can feel Kirkstall Abbeys rich heritage as viking reenactors bring history to life before your eyes. And when you’re not watching the action of competition or living history, indulge in delicious food and drinks from Elsies Kitchen!
