Medieval History come to life!

Welcome to the Barony of Eplaheimr, where Viking raiders or Renaissance Inventors or early Irish scribes can all meet, recreate their everyday lives and still getting to hang out with Normans or Tudors, or any of the many rich and varied cultures up till 1600. We welcome anyone with an interest in the Medieval, especially those people living in the Midlands, West and South of the Republic of Ireland.

Want to experience the Middle Ages ...?

Ever wondered what life was like in the Middle Ages? Fancied trying your hand at spinning, calligraphy, illumination, metalcrafts or brewing? Mused what medieval food was like? In the SCA we can help you find out! We work with many medieval arts, crafts & sciences, regularly cook and brew to medieval recipes and, best of all, organise events to do all of these things for weekends at a time. This is the Middle Ages as it should have been, without the disease and oppression.

... or try your hand at Medieval combat?

If you have an interest in learning fighting skills as they were practiced in the medieval period our Knight marshal is the person to contact. Did you know medieval fencing styles are not the same as modern Olympic style fencing? We have archery days and there is frequently Archery held at many of our events.
