Yule Ball
5-7 December, 2025
Join Flintheath for our annual Yule Ball celebration at this historic site.
The Holly Monarch will be decided by skill with bow and arrow. Archers will compete for this honour in a handicapped archery tournament.
We will be graced by the progress of the Courts of Their Highnesses Insulae Draconis and His Majesty King Krake.
Rapier prize plays will be held during Saturday morning. We have already filled all the prize play slots, and will not be able to accommodate any further candidates at this event.
Feast will be held at lunchtime, after the conclusion of the Holly Monarch tournament. Later, our dancers and bards will take charge of the Ball, which will continue until there's nobody left on their feet.
A novice scroll blank competition will be held this year, open to all who have not produced a scroll for the Kingdom before. This competition is sponsored by Master Maredudd ap Gwylim, Lady Amy of Osgoldcross, and Lord John Yarrowe.
REMINDER: due to the timings required by our insurance provider, we will not be able to
accommodate walk-ins at Yule Ball. Only preregistered, paid and confirmed people can attend.
