About

The Shire of Harpelstane is a historic reenactment society. From art to craft, science, or armoured combat, we help our members study aspects of history that interest them, and in turn they teach others.

Events

We normally host events in Scotland, including a very popular Dance Moot and a series of gatherings in Scottish castles.

Our events were suspended from March 2020, due to Covid19. We are now starting to hold in-person events again.
