Chiltern Open Air Museum - 23rd - 25th April
A DAS training weekend, chillout at Chiltern. We'll be using Arborfield Barn during the day and the roundhouse in the evenings. Anybody who wants to do iron age rather than dark age can use the roundhouse in the day. Cost to be confirmed.

Activities can include: living history and crafts all day, combat training and display practice for Cannock, general chilling out and enjoying the site, fighting in the woods after hours, partying in the roundhouse. There will be camping space, or we can sleep in the buildings.

No vehicle movements are allowed on site from 9.45 to 5.30 (i.e. during opening hours) - if you want to leave early you need to have your car off site in advance.

*** There will be lambing in the farm part of the museum so we will need to be extra careful not to disturb the livestock, and to work around any necessary restrictions imposed by the museum. Pregnant women should avoid sheep at this time or something. ***

Murton Park Museum of Farming - 27th - 30th August
Join DAS for a three-day event at the Danelaw Viking village, set in the Yorkshire Museum of Farming, Murton Park, Murton, York. The site will be open to the public so we must maintain authenticity during the days but the weekend is for us to relax and enjoy ourselves.

Accomodation will be in wooden huts/halls. Bring crafts and games. People can fight in the village after the public have left. Cost to be confirmed.
