Populace
Myrddyn’s Grove. A sylvan retreat for poets, musicians, storytellers, and their company. Share your skills, perform a new piece
Sit, relax, perform, chat, or just listen. Play with the Instrument Petting Zoo Come and be welcome, one and all! If you would like to reserve a slot to perform or teach, contact Ollamh Brendan O Corraidhe. Open from 10 AM until 4 PM.
Arts & Sciences Challenge
A pair of rabbits jousting in the margins of a prayer book. A raunchy woodcarving peering down at churchgoers from the ceiling of All Saints, Hereford. A clay sippy cup outfitted with legs, rabbit ears, and a spout out the snout. These artifacts and thousands more tell us something invaluable about the attitudes of our predecessors: even long ago, people loved to laugh.
For our Arts & Sciences Challenge at Regular Event, we put out the call for your objects of delight! A child’s clay toy with a silly face, an animal-eared chaperon, an embroidery of singing frogs, a peeking mouse hidden in a woodcarving – anything you create to make others smile is a welcome contribution.
This challenge is open to all members of the populace, and an under-12 category will be open for our younger crafters. Feel free to enter new or existing projects in any medium. Tables will be provided.
Voting will be by populace bean count, with the winner and runners-up announced at court. Setup is from 10 AM until 12 PM. All entries must be cleared by 3 PM. The populace must cast their votes from 12:30 to 3 PM to allow plenty of time to count. Please also be aware that the tables will not be continuously attended by event staff.
Please contact A&S Challenge Coordinator Lady Luka Radokovaia if you have questions. We look forward to sharing in your joy!
