Welcome to Eoforwic!
Eoforwic is the Toronto branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), an international organization dedicated to researching, re-creating and enjoying the arts and skills of the middle ages.
If you are new to the SCA or curious about it, SCA members hold tournaments, royal courts and feasts, music and dance events, classes and workshops in pretty much any subject even remotely medieval, and more. We fight in shining armour, make lace and embroider stunning tapestries, shoot longbows, horse bows and crossbows, recreate elaborate medieval garb, throw miscellaneous medieval projectiles, brew mead, turn wood, forge iron – and generally have a rousing good time. But you don’t have to do all that to get involved. All you have to do is show up at a local meeting or fighting practice, or visit one of our medieval events in an attempt at pre-1700 garb (and if you show up to one of our meetings first, you can likely borrow the garb for your first events).
We’re a world-wide community that includes twenty kingdoms, with over 30,000 members in countries around the world. If that has piqued your interest, you are welcome to read more about the SCA (and maybe watch a video or two) on the What is the SCA Page.
Eoforwic has a long and rich history and is an important part of the SCA in Ontario. You can read more about Eoforwic on the About Eoforwic Page.
Eoforwic meets in downtown Toronto, with occasional excursions to local museums, pubs and other cultural institutions.
We meet on Tuesdays, at 6:30pm, and our meeting location is St. Andrew’s United Church, 117 Bloor Street East by the Bloor/Yonge subway station. Our fight practices are generally held Fridays at 7:30 pm (April through October) in Greenwood Park by Gerard and Greenwood. It is accessible by TTC on the 506 Carlton streetcar line or the 31 bus from Greenwood or Coxwell (accessible) station.
You can find out more about upcoming meetings and events on the Eoforwic Calendar. You are also welcome to join our online communities on Facebook and Discord.
