Rencester's Celebration of Spring. March 20. Williamsburg, VA.
As the ice recedes from our shores and the warm winds return to our lands, the College of Rencester invites one and all to join us in our perennial celebration of spring as the trade routes open once more! All guests are invited to join us for a day of poetry and art, or are welcome to spend the day in martial endeavors.
Competitions: There will be a rapier and heavy weapons tourney with handsome prizes for all those involved. There will also be a bardic performance competition, a static A&S competition, and a poetry competition using a period form which will be designated at the event. Entries are suggested to follow either a maritime/ overseas theme, or the baronial color scheme (Green, red, blue, and white), although these are only recommendations. Those participating in two or more events may choose to compete for the famous and resplendent title of Rencester Champion for the year!
