A regular fixture of the Stormhold calendar, Monthly Bash is a day filled with medieval fun of all sorts. Comprising of rapier and armoured combat tournaments, and members of the populace pursuing their own interests – singing, sewing, dancing and much more.
August Monthly Bash is brought to you by Orlok Hanbal al Barbari with a theme of: 'Thaw/Thor' with Spring on the horizon.
Following their success last month, both the Rapier and Armoured Combat Tournaments will be timed challenge tournaments. Combatants will take the field, challenging their opponent with the winner holding the field. All combatants score 1pt for a loss and 2pts for a win, yielding the field after 5 wins.
The Arts and Sciences competition theme is the same. Competitors are asked to submit an artistic work in any style which they consider relates to the theme 'Thaw/Thor' - You are welcome to utilise other interpretations /spellings.
Bring a picnic lunch for yourself or to share with friends, some craft projects, your armour/protective gear, music and musical instrument, games, depending on what you intend to do. Water and toilets are available on site.
This is a garbed event, and loaner gear is available by prior arrangement by contacting the Stormhold Hospitaller: Lady Fionnghuala nic an tSionnaigh (
