Hey All! Queen's Gambit will not happen this year due to issues with finding a suitable venue. Everything is not doom and gloom, however. Cutting has returned in full! We are bringing back Iron Harvest! Iron Harvest 2.0 is a weekend-long cutting competition that will take place July 24-26th! #HEMA

We want to thank everyone who came out to the first Queen’s Quarterly of 2026! We had a great time and want to give a big thanks to both our fighters and our staff and volunteers, who made this day possible. We look forward to seeing you again in a few months for Queen’s Quarterly 2. #HEMA
