Knights of the Round Courtyard, Aug. 4

Knights in armor will clash on the field of Vikingsholm this summer, in a festive demonstration of chivalry and skill, as Scott Farrell and Loreen Mattis, from San Diego’s Chivalry Today Educational Program, present a demonstration of medieval armored fencing. Attendees will get an up-close look at reproductions of medieval arms and armor, as Scott and Loreen discuss the history and design of armor for battle and tournament in the Middle Ages, and put on a live demonstration of historically accurate dueling with a sword, spear, and other 15th-century weaponry.

Guests will be delighted with a twilight reception in the courtyard with wine and hors d' oeuvres during this special program. Tickets are $65 ($55 for SSPF members) and include the wonderful opportunity to drive down into Emerald Bay. Parking is included in the ticket price (a $10 value).

Seating is limited to 30 guests, a reservation is required. Thank you to our sponsor, Basecamp Hotels.
