Recipes are in keeping with the AngloSaxon tastes of our new King UPDATE: Arianwen will be unable to join us due to a death in the family. Johan Wanderer and the rest of the kitchen staff will attempt do justice to the plans and recipes she has worked so hard on.

    There will be a feast prepared by Fergus Redmeade and Elspeth Kyfe of Neddingham; mistress of House Lucerna. "Above the salt" will feature very fine and elegant fare and will be seated inside the hall which is warmed by two large fireplaces. "Below the salt" will feature slightly simpler fare and will be seated in a large tent overlooking the lake.

    UPDATE: "Above the salt" seats are SOLD OUT! There is a waiting list. If you ask for "above the salt" you will be given "below the salt" reservation(s) and on the waiting list for "above the salt".

  • Celia Donohue Zanger there were a few places left the last I spoke to the reservationist. It is possible we can accommodate you Friday in a space where someone is coming only for Saturday night. There will be several people who will not arrive until Saturday.
Ann Baltrush is going.
Can someone tell me what the coronation is for I am daytripping it and will be driving a distance to get there. Need a rough time so I can let my rider know when I will pick her up.

Is there an event schedule available? I'll be day-tripping on Saturday, and I don't want to miss any Courts!
