Feast Fee: Adults $25.00. Children ages 12-17 are $20.00, ages 6-11 are $10.00, and ages 0-5 are guests of the Barony.
LARGESSE EXHIBITION: Handmade Largesse Exhibition. Anyone may enter any number of handmade pieces that do not need to be the same. All items will remain on display during the day. At her leisure, HRM Iseabail will select items for her personal use, and then each entrant will select an item from the remainder as a thank you gift. The remaining items will be added to TRM’s largesse. Documentation is not required, but please be sure to clearly label your items with ingredients and your name as the creator. Further, if your items are fragile or require special care, please include necessary packing to ensure their safety after the event.
SITE INFORMATION: Coronation and the Feast will both be held at the El Segundo Masonic Lodge. Please note this is a damp site. Wine and beer in moderation are allowed to be consumed on site. There is a small parking lot at the hall. Additional public parking is available in a small lot across the street, and lots of street parking nearby. We encourage carpooling if possible.
Hall Decorations: Please bring your flags and banners to decorate the hall! If you also have free standing poles for them, that would be helpful, but we will have some hanging furniture available. If you have participated in any flag and banner making workshops, this is a great opportunity to show off your work!
Dining: Within walking distance of the Mason Hall there are multiple options along Main Street. There are also great options within a short driving distance. El Segundo has become a bit of a food town, so listing all the options here would be prohibitive. We will have a map of several locations available at the event.
VOLUNTEERS: If you are available to volunteer, we have several opportunities available. We will need room minders for the ready room assigned to TRM and their court members, Largesse Exhibition table minders, Hall set up before, during, and after the event, and runners for odd needs as they arise. Please contact the event steward, Baroness Arwen, to sign up at [email protected]
