We are so excited to announce that FightCamp is growing in 2026! We are moving to a massive new venue, so that we can offer more activities for you, and have more space to camp, train and compete, both indoors and outdoors.
FightCamp 2026 will run from the 24th to the 26th of July.
The campsite will be available from 6pm on Thursday the 23rd of July to 4pm on Sunday 26th of July.
Tickets will go on sale in March 2026. We will also be offering a limited number of single day tickets, in addition to the full weekend passes.
What to Expect at FightCamp 2026
Three days of HEMA classes, melee games, traditional archery, competitions, traders, presentations and more! On-site parking and camping included, as well as a large indoor social area. Throughout the weekend there will be a wide variety of lessons, workshops and activities to enjoy, and we are recruiting instructors and activity leads now!
The New Venue
We are so excited to be teaming up with the amazing Newbury Showground for this year’s event. With excellent national and international travel options, a massive 80 acres of open space, fixed toilets and shower blocks on site, a huge indoor training space and vast parking and camping areas, we’re certain you’re going to love it as much as we do.
We will have ample indoor space for classes that will be immune to the unpredictable English summer weather, and to allow you to browse our much bigger selection of stalls.
We have much more space for archery ranges, and are therefore actively looking to expand this aspect of the event into all kinds of historical projectiles. We’ll be updating this page as we have more information confirmed about what’s coming.
