Coronation of Wilhelm von Ostenbrücke and Vienna de la Mer

Come and celebrate the Coronation of Wilhelm von Ostenbrücke and Vienna de la Mer. 

There will be an A&S Display.  If you have questions or wish to enter the display please contact Lady Butrus A’isha al-Anida at moas@dragonshiphaven.eastkingdom.org

During the day there will be a heavy weapons tourney run by Duke Balfar and a fencing tourney run by Catalina at County Lane Park across the street from the site.

We will also have youth activities!

The site has no parking.  There is metered parking on the street in front of the site and a parking garage located directly across from the site:  Middlesex Corp.  Parking garage, 181 Court Street, Middletown, CT 06457.  It costs $6 to park for the day.

There will be no block rates at hotels in the area.  However, there are a number of hotels in the area, just search for hotels in Middletown or Cromwell, CT.

We apologize, but there is no room for merchants at this event.

The site is damp but they ask that no kegs be brought on site.  Please keep it classy.

There is no smoking in the building.  Please step out in front, behind or to the park across the street to smoke.  Thank you.

To the Musicians of the East Kingdom, that as music is dear to her heart and the coronation site is singularly well suited to musical performance, LET IT BE KNOWN that it is our Princess’s wish that at the Coronation of Wilhelm von Ostenbrücke and Vienna de la Mer, you, be given the opportunity to share your gifts with the populace.  There will be a block of time directly after the coronation ceremony during which we will organize a showcase of our kingdom’s musical talents. 

Those wishing to perform should contact Lady Sarra Byrd (Sarah Dornblaser) (uwssop@yahoo.com).  Please put “Coronation Music” in the subject line of your email.  Please provide your name (society/mundane), contact information, the piece(s) you wish to perform, and the run time of those pieces.  Ensembles and soloists, instrumentalists and vocalists are all encouraged to participate.  The deadline to apply for participation is Friday, 9/17/18.

We are also looking for people to participate in an ad hoc choir and instrumental ensemble to perform several short pieces during the coronation ceremony.  Please let us know if you’d be interested in participating in that as well.  The deadline to apply for participation in the ad hoc ensembles is Friday, 9/10/18.
