Welcome back to another year of fighting fun. We are restarting on Thursday 9 January, at 19:00, at Bunscoil Sancta Maria, Synge Street, Dublin 2. If you have ever been interested in taking up armoured fighting or having a go, now is a fantastic time to come over and see if our sport might be for you. Your first time is free, afterwards we charge €10 per practice for non-members, €8 for members and €6 for unwaged.

Greetings from your friendly neighbourhood Cruinniú Event Steward. I wanted to take a moment to encourage everyone to think about your fellow SCAdians who are without a doubt the most amazing bunch of people.

For Cruinniú, we will feature a series of short posts from fighters around the Kingdom about what inspired them to fight, or things they’ve learned about armoured combat.

We are absolutely thrilled with the response to Cruinniú. There’s been so much interest that bookings are coming quite quickly, and we only have a limited number of bunk spaces left. If you’d like to attend and stay in a bed on site, please get your booking in soon.
