Egdehirden is a historical fencing group, focusing on reenactment fighting, HEMA, and similar disciplines.
Throughout the year, we participate in events and markets across Norway and Europe, where we conduct fight shows and weapon demonstrations.
We train every Friday at 6:00 PM at Gimlehallen (Kristiansand), and during the summer we can often be found at Hamresanden, Groos or Bystranda. If this sounds like something for you, feel free to drop by for a training session to see for yourself.
