Kingdom Twelfth Night
(2013-01-11 - 2013-01-13 - Site opens at 5:00 PM & Closes at 12:00 PM)
Charlesbury Crossing

The year is 1543, and Henry the Eighth, by the Grace of God, King of England, France, Defender of the Faith and Lord of Ireland has invited His Brother Atlantia, and the whole of the Atlantian Court, to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany at Hampton Court Palace... Please join the Canton of Charlesbury Crossing as we recreate the grandeur and majesty that was the Tudor Court at Hampton Court Palace as we come together to celebrate Atlantian Twelfth Night. All Atlantia is invited to join in the fun and pageantry that is unique to Twelfth Night. But don\'t expect this to be like any Twelfth Night you\'ve attended before! The Elm Street Center, in the heart of downtown Greensboro, NC, with its spectacular Empire and Regency Ball Rooms, will take on the aspect of Hampton Court. Activities are inspired by all the goings on of the English Court of that era. Games, quests, intrigue and adventure will all fill the palace with mirth. And, after a marvelous Yuletide Feast,  Henry VIII will host the Queen of Hearts Ball!  The Queen of Hearts Ball will be a dance of grand and glorious proportions -- not to be missed under any circumstances!
