A regular fixture of the Stormhold calendar, Monthly Bash is a day filled with medieval fun of all sorts. Comprising of heavy and rapier tournaments, and members of the populace pursuing their own interests – singing, sewing, dancing and much more. Some months may have a particular theme or special activity, and there’s always something going on. This is a garbed event, and loaner gear is generally available. If you need to borrow gear, please contact the Hospitaller.

Bring a picnic, some craft projects, your armour… Whatever you want! Just be sure to bring yourself. Bookings are not required.

Water and toilets available on site.
