Description
We are excited to have Nick Checksfield, one of the worlds leading maille experts, (although he wouldn’t say so himself) coming to Canterbury Medieval Combat to give us a hugely interesting talk, demo and making session on maille.
How it is constructed, how it was used. Come and hold some actual historical examples of chainmail and other forms of personal body armour.
These aren’t just made for warriors and knights but also used by the new middle classes going about their everyday business and needing discrete forms of self protection. A medieval stab proof vest.
Nick will be bringing some of his own collection to show us as well as weapons created specifically to counter chainmail.
This is must attend event for anyone who swings a medieval sword or is studying medieval history.
Cost £30 before the 1st Feb £35 after
Location: St Dunstans Church Hall, London Road, Canterbury
Time: Sunday 16th Feb from 1pm till 5pm
