Event details

While we as a Society tend to concentrate on the past, the time has come to look to the future and move forward with plans for the Wars of the Roses 2025.  We hope to honor our new Baron and Baroness, John fitz Thomas and Janna von Guggisberg, with a glorious weekend of activities for gentles of all ages, interests, and abilities.  We intend to prepare a schedule that will allow everyone to attend/participate in as great a variety of activities as they wish.  We hope to involve as many people as possible in both planning and conducting this event, to keep each one's burden as manageable as they can handle.  Much more information, especially regarding specific activities and further contact information, will be included here as it becomes available.  For now, please contact the Event Steward with any questions, comments, or concerns, or if you wish to volunteer to help with the event.  We look forward to spending time with many friends, old and new, at the Wars of the Roses!

This year, we will be instituting some changes that should help to reinvigorate the experiences of both customers and merchants.  We also will work to broaden the A&S offerings, in both subject matter and style of presentation.  Scheduling of all activities will be reviewed with an eye to minimizing conflicts and enabling everyone to participate to the greatest possible extent.  We encourage past or potential attendees to submit suggestions or comments to the event steward or to the appropriate activity contact.

Site Opens: Noon on Friday
