Arts and Sciences
Rowany Festival is full of opportunities to enjoy the Arts and Sciences, whether you’re a dedicated artisan or you just spotted something interesting you’d like to try. This year’s schedule is still in development, but there are already some great activities on the list. Watch this space for updates, and if you want to organise an A&S activity, get in touch!
Classes
The Festival timetable is always full of classes on a wide range of A&S topics as well as SCA culture, service skills, and more. If you would like to run a class, please fill out the survey at : Google Forms Class Survey here.
All classes must be submitted by 13th of March to ensure a place on the timetable, with classes submitted before the 14th of February given priority for scheduling and venue requests. Late submissions will continue to be accepted until the 13th of March, but their inclusion in the schedule will depend on the time slots available.
