Welcome to the Barony of Eplaheimr's annual Demo at St. Nicholas's Church Medieval Fair in the heart of the city of Galway.
Join us and show off your skills to the public, be they Arts & Sciences or a more martial skill. Different from our normal events, this is a day where we provide colour to the church's event and also have a chance to encourage interested observers to join the SCA.
A typical demo sees us manning a couple of tables either inside or outside the church (weather dependent), showing off and demonstrating crafts participants are happy to show off and talk about. We also usually put on a scheduled display of arms for 30mins, twice in the day, and perhaps other sessions like dancing, if we have someone willing to lead it.
Just bring along 1 A&S item you would be happy to demonstrate and talk about (you can bring more, but 1 is sufficient), and/or your fanciest combat gear. This demo is in garb, so wear what will be appropriate for your persona/preferred time period/the weather!
What to bring & Do
A&S - Choose one craft that you are happy to demonstrate and talk about and show off!
Combat - We are showing off what we can offer in Galway, so combat at the demo will be Fencing. There will also be a display of Arms, Armour and Weapons.
Activities - There will be opportunities for dancing, playing music and singing through the day. There will also be a parade through town.
Setup is from 8:30am, with the Fair opening at 11:00am going on until 4:00pm. Please try to be onsite for 10:00am.
For those with cars, the closest parking area is in the St. Patrick Primary school grounds across from the Church (paid parking).
Teas and coffees and biscuits will be provided by the church.
