Faversham 2026

Greetings

I have just been to a event in Faversham, Kent.

This was a one day event on a Sunday and they had asked us to be there a 8.30 to set up. In order to get there in time, I had to pack the car on the Saturday and get up at 5.00AM.

I achieved this and arrived (just) on time.

The site was very cramped and we had to empty the vehicles and get them off to the arranged parking straight away. Luckily, this was not too far off. We got the camp and arena set up in time for the opening at 10.00.

We started off with a Kids' Battle, which I marshalled. 

This went a lot better than at Amersham, though poor Deejay found himself assaulted by some of his own side, as well as the enemy.

I armed up and then narrated the Arming of the Knight with Deejay as the knight in question and we went stright into the tourney, ending in a melee , which I won.

We had a good reaction from the public and I was able to do a fair amount of educating.

The vent ended at 3Pm, which was nice and I ws lucky enought to find a parking spot right next to the camp, which made take down much easier.

The journey home did not go quite a smoothy, as I took ne wrong turn that delayed me for 20 minutes and then ran into several traffic delays after that, but I still got home just after 6.00.

I wasn't able to take any pictures, but here are a couple more from Amersham.

Despite the early start, I quite enjoyed the event and might do it again.

Until next time

Adieu
