April 11-12, 2026 Festival

Challenge a Knight – Blades of Glory

Our Blades of Glory Medieval knights are just the best! Challenge a knight is loved by everyone! Specially ME! 🤣😂
This was an absolute hit (no pun intended) at the Sunderland Maple Syrup Festival 👏
Thanks for inviting us 👏

Parents love this show as they get to watch their child fight against one of our Knights. The young challenger must wear a tabard and a medieval plastic helmet. They both use a foam sword, but they must respect the honour of the list. They must bow at the start of the duel to their opponent to show respect and they must give the Knight a High 5 at the end of the match to show that they are still friends.

Congratulations to Paul South, recognized by the SMSF Committee for his 7 years of serving as Chair! A well deserved honour! It’s the 29th year of the amazing weekend festival put on by community minded volunteers!
