Halden HEMA, Fekteklubben Frie Duellister and Vikverir welcome you to the 2025 edition of Vinter, a HEMA training weekend.Vinter is the perfect event to meet other HEMA enthusiasts and gain experience as a fencer. The weekend will feature sparring, workshops, socializing and sharp cutting! Last year we were around 30 HEMA practitioners from various clubs, and we hope to be even more this year! This year we will also hold a tournament/judging course suitable for everyone but especially people that have never competed :)
Vinter is also a long running reenactment event, while the reenactors are outside fighting in the forest we will have the whole hall to ourselves for HEMA. There will also be evening workshops where we share space with the reenactors.
