About Us

Welcome to the Shire of Danescombe, a proud part of the Principality of Tir Righ, in the Kingdom of An Tir, and a branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Our shire covers a large area in the Okanagan Valley of BC, stretching from the modern borders of Lake Country in the north, to the far edges of Penticton (Kaleden) in south. If you live in these regions, we look forward to meeting you, and welcoming you to our shire.

About the SCA

SCA members study the culture and technology of their period, but they don’t stop with historical research. They practice what they have learned – they build the tools, sing the songs, make and wear the clothing, cook and eat the food that was popular in former times. They build replica armor and weapons, and learn how to use them. Archery, brewing, calligraphy, dance. . . the whole range of human activities are open to anyone who finds them intriguing. In addition to the physical trappings of their historical recreation, SCA members also seek to embody the ideals of the literature of the period: chivalry, courtesy, honor, and hospitality.

We recreate the Middle Ages “as they should have been” members say, referring to their attempts to evoke the strong and hopeful aspects of the culture without reliving its very real problems.

Society members create a persona, the person who they would like to have been had they lived in the Middle Ages. Some SCA members have chosen only a name. Others have fully developed personas and can talk to you in detail about their “lives” in the Middle Ages.

The Society is a family friendly pursuit. As Prince Einar Guntharson said in a television interview; “I have many friends who play golf as a hobby. They work all week then play golf all weekend and never spend time with their families. In the SCA, you see entire families at events, having fun together. It has something for everyone.”
