Hawkwood

FREE EVENT! Sharpen your skills before Pennsic. The Montford Park Players and The Barony of Hawkwood invite you to join them for a day celebrating the best of Medieval and Renaissance Europe. Come fight, play and show the public how great it is to be part of the SCA. We had over 500 attendees last year. Excellent opportunity for newcomers. Participate in demonstrations of armored fighting, rapier fighting, thrown weapons, dancing, leatherworking, blacksmithing, games, crafts, arts and sciences. Children can make their own shield and get their faces painted. We hope to have a couple of food trucks. Booths will be selling period-inspired merchandise. That evening, the MPP will present a free performance of William Shakespeare\'s \"Troilus and Cressida\". Blankets, chairs, sunscreen and cash are recommended. Garb is encouraged but not required for newcomers. Merchants should contact the Event Steward for space. Set up starts at 9:00, demo begins at noon.
