Have you been fighting for a year or less within the SCA and have a passion for rapier or heavy fighting? Participate in the Newcomers Rapier or Heavy Tournament, or both! Both the rapier and heavy tournament will have loaner gear available for those without the required equipment. Participants need an SCA membership and a fighting authorization to participate!
Bard Tournament
Join us for The Pencerdd Bard Tournament, a celebration of bardic talent where participants can perform songs, poems, stories, instrumental pieces, or other bardic arts. Embrace pre-seventeenth-century themes and showcase your skills for a chance to be named Unser Hafen’s Pencerdd Bard. Whether you compete or simply wish to perform, this is your moment to shine and share your craft.
Please come prepared with two pieces and email the event steward (eithne.fhaelain@unserhafen.org) if you would like to participate!
