The good shire of Appledore invites one and all to join the estimable Ladies of the Golden Swan to celebrate scholarship and persona development during this long weekend event.
Golden Swan is a persona development challenge for female personas. The purpose of Golden Swan is to foster knowledge of the lives of women in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. A successful Golden Swan has acquired a level and depth of understanding of what a woman's life was like in a given time period.
From Saturday morning until Court on Sunday, Golden Swan Candidates are expected to remain in persona, and will be subject to judging during that time. All other attendees are asked to respect the candidates and do their utmost to enable them to maintain their period personas. The best way to do this is trying to remain in persona yourself whenever you are near!
This year, Golden Swan will be at Cawston Hall, which features a large hall, a good kitchen, and a smaller hall suitable for those who wish to sleep dormitory style on their own bedrolls. There are lovely grounds for camping, fighting, and games, and adjacent areas suitable for dry rv camping. We ask that people staying overnight pay an additional $10 accomodation fee.
Site opens at 6 on Friday, closes at 11 on Monday.
A peasant’s breakfast of hot oatmeal and warm spiced applesauce $5 Saturday and Sunday.
Group pot luck feasts for both Saturday and Sunday magnify the camaraderie!
Site fee $35, $10 discount with SCA membership card. 17 and under free.
Accomodation fee $10 (one time cost, not for each night)
