Toward the end of the 16th century, England was ruled by Queen Elizabeth and a new playwright by the name of William Shakespeare was becoming quite well-known. Please join us for our annual Midwinter's Feast as we celebrate all the sumptuous bounty this era had to offer, both in food and entertainment! A dazzling display of gastronomic delights awaits you, including vegetarian options, and we are gathering the best performers from throughout the Summits to regale us with song, story, and dance! And, of course, there will be much dramatic performance, both taken from and inspired by the works of the Bard himself.
Although the feast and its entertainment will have the theme of Elizabethan England, guests of all time periods are most certainly welcome, and we invite all to join us for the Artisan's Retreat. This was very popular last year, and we are again inviting Laurels and artisans from all over to join us and share their arts. Arts and sciences of many different time and places will be displayed and shared, and we will also have representatives from the other branches of the Peerage to answer questions and share what they do.
Other activites include the Bardic Bower, a chess tournament (with a chocolate chess set as the prize), Adiantum's A & S championship, and more!

Note that the above Weather and Map information is generated from the site address and can be easily confused. The weather will say if its for the branch or for the site. It will be for the site if the site can be found, but this again is not always the case, and if the site is some distance from the branch then the weather may be different.
