Archery
Ever see yourself as Robin Hood with a medieval bow. We hold a number of different archery shoots thoughout the year which includes a ‘William Tale’ shoot were you have to shoot an apple off a mananquin’s head, speed rounds, distance shoots and much much more which are shot with wooden arrows and medieval bows.
Renaissance Fencing
Also known as rapier combat, participants use real metal blades (but blunted). Unlike modern fencing, SCA fencing is done “in-the-round”, and combatants can fight in close with their opponents. Fencers can face each other in one-on-one in tournaments, or in large melee battles with dozens or even hundreds on a side.

Armoured Combat
Also know as ‘heavy combat’ in the SCA, it resembles medieval foot tournaments. Combatants can face each other in single combat in tournaments, or can take part in large melee battles or wars. Since we prefer that no one gets hurt, SCA combatants wear real armor and use rattan swords.
Medieval Arts & Sciences
Why not try your hand at one of the many arts and sciences of the medieval times, whether is it is calligraphy, cooking, leather working, brewing, dancing, music, wood working, costuming, embroidery, book binding, armouring, etc there is something to interest everyone.
