Event details

We welcome you to join us for a small gathering, a retreat if you will, to celebrate our return to events and our opportunity to be with each other again.  Out in the peaceful meadows of the Shire of Anglespur sits a farm called Lui na Greine Feirme.  A pleasant knoll sits, surrounded by fields, then around those fields, woods out in the back 80 acres. 

Upon that knoll, a Knight will be made. 
In those fields, a vigil, various tents and sunshades, pick-up fights, perhaps some melees can be fought.
In those woods, a walk, a fight, perhaps a relaxing nap in a tent. 

There is a concurrent SCA demo from 12:00PM to 2:00PM.  All attendees are encouraged to participate as time permits.  Many activities are planned at the local library for children and adults.  Address for the demo will be provided upon request.

The site is open prior to the event start time if you wish to arrive earlier than 10AM. 
Please make sure you check in as soon as possible for contact tracing. 

As of 8/9/21 masks will be required for all attendees over the age of 2.
The exceptions are those actively engaged in martial activities and while actively eating or drinking.
