Event Information

Night Under a Faie Moon
(2022-04-15 - 2022-04-17 - Site opens at 6:00 PM & Closes at 10:00 AM)
Lochmere

As the residents of the town of Smeewick gather Friday eve at the local Tavern, the Rusty Souse, tales of minor mischief and petty thievery are on everyone’s lips. Swords have been found hanging from trees. The left shoes of everyone in town are missing. Fillings of pies have been replaced with flowers and pine fronds. Some members of the populace suspect the faie folk. Are the faie friends? Foes? A little bit of both? The Barony of Lochmere invites you to join us for an event based in the Tudor English town of Smeewick and inspired by Shakespeare’s Midsummer’s Night Dream. Whether you call them faie, brownies, sprites, or…, they are all around us. Festivities will start Friday night at 7pm in the main hall and carry through Saturday night. Expect fighting, feasting, and fun.
