Welcome to the Canton of Stegby!
The SCA welcomes people from all walks of life. It doesn't matter what you do in the mundane world, how old or young you are, how much you know about the medieval world, or whether you can sew, fight, dance, sing or discuss academia - everyone is welcome! The group's focus is very diverse as we study a period of over 1000 years. We don't limit ourselves to one culture or particular event in history.
If you are interested in coming along to our regular meetings, or want to know a little bit more about what we do, read on!
