As summer draws nigh the Shire of Lionsdale prepares to choose champions once again for armoured combat, target archery, and missile combat. These longer days and warmer skies also provide us with opportunities to show your prowess with a rapier, in the arts, and in bardic pursuits. For the first time, the Shire of Lionsdale is pleased to be showcasing the equestrian arts as well. Anyone interested in participating in the equestrian demonstration is to please contact the autocrat.
Sunday morning, wake up to the mouth-watering aroma of fresh coffee, sizzling bacon, sausages, and fluffy pancakes prepared especially for you. Gluten-free pancakes will be available upon request. The cost is $8, with the proceeds to be donated to a travel fund, as yet to be determined.
Pre-registration for available merchant space is necessary; please contact the autocrat. We look forward to welcoming one and all to frolic in the Grenewode with us.

Fees:
Adults $15.
