Friday 5th July to Sunday 7th July

Good cousins, all those of the fair lands of Eplaheimr and those of our neighbours and friends all through Lough Devnaree, our great Dragon Isles and the Great Dragon Kingdom, pray heed! It pleases our Baronesses Rogned and Adele to invite you all to the Bruiden of Eiscir Airgead (Jim Kirwan Scout Hall, Clara, Co. Offaly) for a weekend of games, good food and excellent company.

There will be games and sports including the poc fada and throwing the spear, combat, archery and races. Can you sneak through the woods without being heard? Will your axe hit the target most true?

We invite the artisans of our lands to best depict an animal companion for the Baronesses, whether it be in representative form, as a banner, as needlework, by brush and pen, in metal or wood or any method that most pleases your artistic eye and heart.

This is a camping event with indoor crash space and we will make a special effort to organise nearby Guest house accommodation and transport between there and the site for those that need it. We can also strive to provide some additional guest camping space onsite. Traveller's fare, Breakfasts, lunch and feast will be available.

Accommodation

Jim Kirwan Scout Hall is a large Scout Hall with no indoor accommodation but comfortable crash space. We will also be providing extra tents as crash space for anyone travelling from abroad, and we will have a full list of local B&B and AirBnB accommodation in the area posted shortly. It is extremely convenient to Clara Train station which is on the main Dublin to Galway and Dublin to Athlone train line and Kilbeggan is a short drive (pickups can be arranged) for the Dublin to Galway Bus service.

The site opens at 18:00 and closes at 14:00
