The Barony of Gyldenholt invites you to join them in celebrating the skill, valor, and the honor of the Unbelted Armored Combat Fighters of Caid. The theme of the day is Hearth & Home! During these chilling winter months, we ask you for displays celebrating the ways we keep warm, keep cozy, or other warming arts / activities.

EVENT REGISTRATION: Adult Event Registration $20, Adult Member Discount Event Registration $10. Children 17 and under are guests of the barony, but parents must still sign the minor waiver form or present a valid membership card. Cash and checks accepted at gate. Make checks payable to “SCA, Inc. Barony of Gyldenholt.”
COMBAT SCENARIOS: Combat will be a single elimination style tournament. A second life may be gained with a submission of an Arts & Sciences entry or a bardic piece. Entries will be on display for the populace to enjoy in a static display. After submission, fighters will be given a token to give to the list officer, redeeming their second life (If you plan to take your entry into combat, please provide a photo and a brief description of the piece for the display).
There will be a “Most Well Rounded Fighter” of the day competition. The winner will be selected from among the fighters who enter in the most events (A&S, Bardic, Chivalry). Sign up at the List table.
There will also be a People's Choice "Fighter Edition" competition. The populace will be able to vote for fighters based on their combat prowess, chivalric behavior, their beauteous armor, or even how well they die. Votes can be cast during or immediately following any fight throughout the day.
ACTIVITIES: While Unbelted is a celebration of the Kingdom's fighters, all are welcome to participate in the events of the day, including A&S Displays and Bardic (performances will be held at a specific time in the Gyldenholt Pavilion).
SITE INFORMATION/RESTRICTIONS: This is a dry site. Please take all of your trash off site. Parking is extremely limited at the park. Additional parking is available at the nearby Pioneer Middle School. Carpooling is encouraged.
