Who will stand and defend the
honour of Lions Gate and its undoubted Baron and
Baroness?

On the Hallowed Grounds of the Warner Loat Park, on the
twenty-third day of the month of May, three martial champions will
be decided. Those thick of neck and strong of arm may choose to
fight in the Heavy Armoured Combat Tournament. For those that are
more fleet of foot with a cavalier attitude may prefer the Rapier
Combat Tournament. If you laugh at such fighters knowing that with
your hawk-like vision and a steady arm, you can kill them from a
100 yards away, perhaps the Archery Tournament will be your
choice.

Choose your weapons. Choose your tournament. Win and you will be
a Champion of Lions Gate.

For those of a more gentler nature, please come and join us as
well. There will be Boules and Croquet. For those with an artistic
nature, I invite you to participate in a competition to produce a
Loat in any medium. I would also invite all our artisans to come
and sell your wares.

Please bring a picnic lunch.

Never been to an SCA event?  Newcomers are welcome at this
and every event. Just do your best to dress medievally – a simple
T-Tunic is easy to whip up – and come out to the event. We will
have some loaner garb available if you don’t have anything.

Time: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Cost: $10/adult
