Medieval Society

The Heriot-Watt Medieval Society is a group for anyone interested in re-creating and re-enacting the life of medieval Scotland.

Jump Start

This society is part of the Jump Start Scheme.

Sometimes a society that has existed in previous years doesn't continue on into the new year for whatever reason, often because the people who run it graduate. This means that sometimes a society is ready to go, but missing a crucial part of what's needed to make it tick, that could be you! With our jump start a society programme, you can become a society leader and pick up where the society left off! If you're interested in adopting this society, please contact Christy for more information! Otherwise, if you'd be interested in joining the society, please sign up so we know which societies have the highest level of interest and where we can offer the most support!

Potential New Society Alert!

This is a brand new society - and we need members!.

This society is brand new, and in order to become an official society it needs a minimum of 10 members before it can start.

If you love the sound of this society and would absolutely join it if it was set up, then see the Join section below to show your interest!

Our main activities involve recreating medieval combat in an effective, realistic and safe way and crafting all the equipment necessary to portray a medieval persona. We take part in training sessions throughout the academic year that prepare us for the summer show season during which we travel up and down Great Britain to medieval shows in which we re-enact various battles and historic events in collaboration with other groups from across the UK. We have a great inclusive community and hold regular socials as well. If you have ever wanted to take part in some swordplay, learn how to make a lovely medieval dress or just want to try something new and unique our society is definitely for you!

We will announce the sepecific details of our events on discord at:

You can sign up to the society for free and come along to try it out for a session, but after the first we would ask for the membership fee of £10, which covers combat insurance and maintaining society kit accessible to all members.

This society is just setting up, and in order to do that we need a minimum number of initial members before we can start as a society.

If you're interested in being able to join this society, click to add the "Interested In" membership to your basket and complete the (free) checkout process to let us know.

If we get the required 10 members, we can start the society and you will become a full member!

We Need You!

This society doesn't have any leaders to run it for this year.

If you're interested in being part of the committee leading this society, then we'd love to hear from you and explain the process.

Just email Christy on C.O'Toole@hw.ac.uk and we'll be in touch!
