Activities Overview
Our theme this year is the Scottish Wars of Independence. The Wars were a series of military campaigns fought between the independent Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. Pick a side and earn points for the English or Scottish teams to see who will win the day! Points will be awarded for enthusiasm, so dress the part, wave the colours and make a whole lot of noise!
Armoured Combat: Duke Berus is working hard to create a schedule that will make you too tired to stand! He's planning woods battles, field battles and some great new scenarios that will surprise you! Don't forget our torchlit tourneys!
Rapier Combat: Lady Jocelyn has some exciting new tourneys and battles based on our theme that will keep you playing until well after the torch lights are lit. Plan on being exhausted!
Archery, Thrown Weapons and Youth Combat will be offered, with a woods walk and some fun new ideas. Keep checking the site for updates!
A&S: Mistress Nicolaa will be posting her schedule for us as soon as she can. She's still looking for teachers, but the class list is starting to fill up. Plan on checking out the artisan's row again this year as well as enjoying our new location in the permanent picnic shelter.
