    Arts & Sciences

    The Barony of the Angels invites artisans, cooks, performers, and enthusiastic supporters to honor Her Majesty Eilidh with a day of fun, arts, food, and wonderful memories!

    Everyone, regardless of age and artistic experience, is invited to participate. We welcome entries in botanical arts, brewing (non-alcoholic), fiber arts, jewelry and ornaments, metal arts, needle arts, leatherworking, pottery, woodworking, and anything that doesn't fit into any category. Unusual entries are very welcome!

    There will be a Queen’s Choice and a Populace Choice prize. You're encouraged to bring appreciation tokens to leave next to worthy entries. They don't count as votes, but artisans like to know their work has been noticed and appreciated.

    All entries must submitted by 10 am the day of the event. There will be plain tablecloths on display tables, but bring any other decoration to enhance display of your entries.

    Documentation: Each entry must have at least a 3x5” index card with:

  • Entry name or short description (entry, NOT entrant)
  • Country of origin
  • Approximate date(s)/period in which the entry would have been used
  • Culinary entries must list all ingredients; don’t say “nuts”--specify what kind of nuts you used.
  • Do NOT put your name on the card! Entries will be given a number when they are checked in.

    Bardic Arts

    All types of performances are welcome; however, performances must be under 5 minutes. To reserve a performance slot or ask questions, contact Lady Briana MacCabe.

    Culinary Arts

    Culinary entries can be kept warm in electrical crock-pots or on heating pads in the kitchen, or cooled in the refrigerator, but no food can be made using the kitchen facilities.

  • Please supply your own containers and serving utensils.
  • All dishes must be prepared ahead of the event, if at all possible.
  • Each dish must feed 4 to 6 people, so that it may be served at the Royal Lunch.
  • You may enter more than one category: Appetizers, Main Entrée, Side Dish, Dessert, and Non-alcoholic beverage. (The site is DRY.)

    Scribal Arts

    Entry may be:

  • A whole scroll or any part of a scroll: decorated initial, art detail, calligraphy, etc.
  • Anything besides a scroll: bookmark, playing card, greeting card, etc.
  • Painted, calligraphed, etched, embroidered, woven or otherwise expressed
  • On an unusual surface: leather, metal, glass, etc.
  • Extra points if the entry focuses on either of Their Majesties’ personas: His Majesty Mansur is a 14th Century Arab Cavalryman and Her Majesty Eilidh is early period Irish.

    Garb & Accessories

    Entries may be:

  • For people can be for any size or age.
  • For animals must be displayed on models, not live animals.
  • Can be machine-sewn, if documentation indicates how it would have been done in its particular period.
