Once again, war cries fill the mountains around the Barony of Wealdsmere, and the Celts are preparing for war. Come help the innocents defend their homes or help the Celts retake their ancestrial lands.
Already we have heard tales of their raids upon our neighbors as they push ever closer to our prosperous Barony intent on thieving, war, and of course plunder. Join us as we prepare to defend our land from those nasty little Celts.
This year, in addition to various battle scenerios for the heavy fighters, there will be a Last Man Standing Tourney after the war as well as a Valhalla Tourney Sunday morning. There will be a Rapier tourney for those interested as well as a Throwing weapons contest, there will be archery as well.

Arts & Science Activities at Celtic Revolt

Saturday

1 pm – 2 pm Seige cooking ingredient pickup
Do you like to cook? Would you like to try to see what you could

Sunday afternoon at 2 pm to brainstorm and prepare their dishes. Prizes
will be awarded for Best overall entry, best presentation, most dishes,
most humorous entry.

3 pm – 4 pm Big Hair Contest
We all know the Celts were into “expressive” hair styles! This contest will
challenge entrants to tease, spray, toss, comb, etc their hair into as big a creation as possible. There will be two categories – adult and youth. The
winners will be judged on creativity, style, and size!

Sunday

2 pm – 3 pm Seige cooking contest judging
Bring your dishes for the final judging. All are welcome to watch our
fearless judges dig into the dishes and make their decisions.

3 pm – 4 pm Sheep Fair
This contest will be run just like a county fair sheep judging, with the

your vivid imagination and create a sheep from any medium and bring
it to be judged. There will be two categories – adult and youth.
