New to the SCA?
This event is one of Bhakail’s larger annual events and provides opportunities to see the best the SCA has to offer!
While there is an expectation that all attendees will make an attempt at pre-seventeenth century (pre-1650s) attire, please don’t stress about it! If you don’t have appropriate garb, we are very happy to lend you some; please email our Chatelaine, our newcomer contact, and ask about "Gold Key" - our loaner garb.
