Days of Knights
« on: 2012-02-16, 21:21:00 »
Has anyone seen this? It's called Days of Knights, and it's a multi-period medieval reenactment. It's the Oct 12-14th weekend, and it's looking superb.

That looks really cool. It's refreshing to see an event stressing the historical accuracy side of things.

I really want to go, the only thing with me is the transportation.  :-\

A couple of years ago I went to the Kentucky RenFaire which is close to where this event is at. It is approximately a ten hour drive but really beautiful scenery. :)

I've never been to KY before. Though I hear the renfaire over there isn't too bad, so I may have to check it out eventually. But yeah, we'll be in the middle of faire season here, and Halloween, and my anniversary is shortly before it, etc. Very busy time of the year.

I'm hoping to go next year as I really enjoyed that fair, even though it was a little on the small side, about half again as big as VARF, they have an impressive amount of permanent buildings including a really great beer hall and the local rennies are really friendly. They are very supportive of their fair and they based the faire around the timeline and court of Robert the Bruce so it is perfect for earlier kits! :)

Man, that looks fantastic, but as was said, tooo far away. :( I'm surprised they can do that with no entrance fee either.

I'd love to go check this out, but alas, I will be tied up at PaRF. It'd be really cool to see some other guys doing Hand Gonner impressions, I thought I was the only one left working on that.

I'm a little confused by the website.  Are they discouraging playtrons from armouring up for the day?

WMAW is usually mid-late September.
