Prepare your finest garb and make ready to indulge your senses as the Barony of al-Barran welcomes the return of the sun with a Midwinter celebration inspired by the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries. As each of the tapestries expresses an appreciation for the different senses, so too will we indulge our palate with music, décor, dancing, and of course, a delicious feast!

Events include: Carolers, a dessert competition, court dancing, and a scavenger hunt!

HELP WANTED: Such a large event only works because of the amazing people of al-Barran. Please lend an hour or two of your day–you’ll make new friends, reconnect with old ones, and been well thanked by your barony! Set up crew, clean up crew, gate crew, and feast servers.  Sign up HERE.
