Since this is a newish site for us, here is what it looks like from the air:

There is plenty of space in the fighting and fencing area for pop-ups and pavillions. Please bring yours if you wish. The "Barn" has picnic tables so there will be space to sit, outside and out of the sun. The little building to the lower left of the "barn" is reserved for the MoLs. There is plenty of space for archery and thrown weapons and for pop-ups. The area marked as no parking for us is restricted to the fire fighters and for the fire trucks. .Accessibility parking is on the right-hand side of the building, near the troll.

Plenty of space for archery:

Plenty of seating in the "barn".

Plenty of space for combat.

More than enough space for vigils (if needed)
