This is where you will find information about life in the camp, along with rules and guidelines for safety, as well as handy tips. Please note that information may still be added or changed during the preparation stage of the event.
Arrival/departure
Our camp is located in Östergravar.
The closest address to the camp entrance is ”Kung Magnus väg 32, Visby”.
You are allowed to camp on-site from Friday the 1th to Monday the 11th of August – HOWEVER you are not allowed to light any fires until the organizers have approved your fireplace!
There will be organizers in camp from Saturday morning, 2nd of August, until the evening of Sunday the 10th of August. We strongly encourage you to stay until the afternoon of Sunday 10th, since there will be camp chores associated with taking down the camp.
NO CARS are allowed in camp between 12:00 on Sunday the 3rd and 08:00 on Sunday the 10th. If you want to set up your camp between these times you will have to do it in Medieval clothing and without car access.
The car park location is yet to be determined. A map link will go HERE.
Checking in
When you first arrive in camp, park on the grass near the camp entrance, and enter on foot to find one of the organizers for more detailed information about your campsite.
Once you are settled, find the check-in tent, which will be open 12:00-14:00 and 16:00-18:00 from Saturday the 2nd. If your group has several participants, it is enough to send just one person to check you all in.
Checking in is vital – it helps us to keep tally of how many participants we have. This is where you get your camp badge – without it you cannot enter the camp.
