Stowe on the Wowld's Annual Tavern Feast is On Again!!
With the Depths of Winter upon us the Tavern Feast this year is to have
a suitably Norse flavour. Many activities will be taking place so read
on...
Daytime games and activities to be indulged in will be...
~ A Holmgangr Tourney* (Battle on the Hide) with rules to be provided
prior to and on the day.
~ Kubb* one version of the rules can be found here
~ the board games Hnefatafl* (pron. Hnef-ah-tahbi - King of the Table)
and Nine Men's Morris (visit
here for the rules or, for
a warm up game visit

AND
~ depending on negotiations with the local inhabitants...an Axe Throwing
competition!
~ for the big & little kids we will have a Feltmaking Corner where the
making of throwing balls, small pouches and flat felt for sewing up
later on will be pounded into shape
~ cordials & fruit will be available during the day.
There will also be two A&S competitions held. One being for a Norse
textile item and, naturally, the other is for a non-textile Norse item.
