The Shire of Caer Caledon is an independent shire, the purpose of which is to research and re-enact various aspects of mediaeval life while having loads of fun along the way. The name is believed to be derived from the Welsh 'kaer' meaning 'fortress' and 'Caledonia', the Romantic name for Scotland. We organise and participate in many different events including tournaments, fayres and, naturally, feasts. Members are kept up-to-date with everything that the Shire is doing through e-mail bulletins and, of course, this website.
Fighting
Come and join us every Sunday, 12 pm, at the Undercroft Gardens, found through the arch at the end of Market Street (near Frittos). We welcome everyone who would like to learn how to fight in the Medieval tradition with swords, spears and knives. Make sure to bring a pair of heavy gloves. For more information please email us.
Yule
We will be having a twelve course feast on the 10/12/11. Keep an eye out for emails and facebook notifications in regards to this in the days to come.
Weekly Guild Events
We will be emailing every week with details of different Guild events which will be held in the Union TV Room (Second Floor).
Guild Heads
We are looking for an Artisan's Guild Head for the up-and-coming academic year, if you have any knowledge of medieval crafts and would like to teach and lead others in said craft, please email us with the title 'Artisans Guild Head', letting us know which guild you'd be interesting in heading.
