About Hedge Knight Productions
At Hedge Knight Productions, we bring the spectacle, excitement and atmosphere of the medieval tournament to modern audiences through live armoured combat entertainment unlike anything else available in the UK.
Our fighters are drawn from some of the most experienced and accomplished competitive armoured combat athletes in the country, featuring world championship medallists, UK national representatives, and national-level competitors. Collectively, our team has performed in front of thousands of spectators at hundreds of tournaments, festivals and live events across the UK and Europe.
This is not choreographed stage combat or historical re-enactment.
This is real competition.
Real steel armour. Real steel weapons. Real strikes, real tactics, real winners and real stakes.
Every duel is fought competitively between trained fighters, creating an experience that feels authentic, visceral and unpredictable in a way scripted performances simply cannot replicate. The roar of steel, the clash of shields and the energy of the crowd combine to create a spectacle that transports audiences back to the age of the medieval tournament.
Whether performing at weddings, corporate events, castles, historic venues or private functions, our goal is simple: to create unforgettable experiences that your guests will talk about long after the final duel has ended.
From intense one-on-one duels and tournament brackets to interactive betting halls, heralds and immersive medieval entertainment, Hedge Knight Productions delivers live event experiences worthy of legend.
