Their Excellencies Blatha An Oir and Dragon’s Laire invite you to join us for camaraderie and feasting, as we celebrate a joint Candlemas in the borderlands on February 7th, 2026.
Blatha an Oir is planning this event for 2026. Please see the below web links for information — where, when, how much, pre-registration info, and all those other essential details!

We look forward to seeing you!
New to the SCA? A little bit about what to expect…
You can check in and pay your daily fee at any time the entry Gate is open. Once you’ve checked in at Gate, you will get a site token to pin on your clothing, and you can come and go for the day. People will arrive at different times throughout the day, depending upon their interests and schedule.
For this event, you should try to come in “garb” (an attempt at pre-1650 clothing). You can borrow garb from the Gold Key deputy of the Chatelaine’s office, either for Dragon’s Laire (Kitsap county people) or Blatha an Oir (Pierce county people). Contact emails below.
Chatelaine for Dragon’s Laire: DragonsLaire.Chatelaine@AnTir.org
Chatelaine for Blatha an Oir: BlathaanOir.Chatelaine@antir.org
Dinner is provided if you attend the feast, which requires pre-registration so the cooks know how much food to prepare!
You will want to bring a “feast kit” — a cup, a plate, a bowl, a napkin, and eating utensils. Feel free to bring more things if you want to dress up your place at the table, but those are the essentials! This particular site requires us to use flameless (battery-operated) candles for decorating. Most feasts just serve water, and there’s usually a coffee and tea service throughout the day. Some people bring their favorite soda. If you are of legal age, this site does allow alcoholic beverages–in discreet containers. Feasts often have extra food at the end, so you can bring leftover containers if you want to take some home. Plastic wrap to fit over your feast plate is the simplest!
Finally, this event typically includes Arts & Sciences activities and space for Fight Practice. We invite you to watch the presentations, watch fight practice and meet some of our fighters, or bring a craft and join a table of people working on their own projects! Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself, let people know you’re new, and ask questions.
