A Walk Among the Pines

Hosted by Barony of Stonemarche - Rindge, NH

Event date: August 5th, 2017

Event Last Modified: July 14th, 2017

Event details

In a sunny corner of the glorious Barony of Stonemarche, a small outdoor Cathedral sprawls invitingly.  Reminiscent of the beautiful monastic gardens of England and France, the Cathedral has several altars and many plants and memorials to stroll among.

Please join us for a public demonstration of the SCA in Stonemarche!  Displays of various Arts and Science projects will be present, as well as feats of both Heavy Combat and Rapier Combat.  Bards will present beautiful music, and heralds will be present to help those who wish to design their devices.

This is a public demo, and so there will be ungarbed people wandering through.  We are there to help educate and interest those in southwestern Stonemarche, and to answer their questions.  If you have A&S projects, completed or ongoing, please bring them along!  There is plenty of room for pavillions and tents of all sizes, as the Cathedral grounds are massive, so please bring them along for the day!

This is a single day demo - no overnight camping is permitted.  If you are travelling from far away, please contact Edgithe regarding possible places to camp.

A small Gold Key will be available on site. 

This is a pot-luck event, so if you wish to participate in the pot-luck meal, please contact Edgithe regarding what you'd like to bring.  An ingredients list is required for all dishes presented at the pot luck.  There will be space to plug in crock pots and dish warmers, as well as a covered area to eat in, in case of bad weather.

This demo is outdoors, rain or shine, so please remember to bring bug spray and sun lotion.  Limited covered areas are available.  The site is large and can involve much walking.  Most of the site is easily accessible with walkers and wheelchairs.  Dogs on leashes are welcome; please clean up after your pet!
