LES BELTAINES XXXVII
With great pride, boundless excitement, and unwavering passion, we announce the long-awaited return of Beltaines.
After a time of uncertainty, this cherished gathering rises once more, stronger than ever, from June 11 to June 14 2026.
This event is special. Experience for yourself the magic of Beltaines which words cannot describe.
This new edition will feature a grand Inter Kingdom War, uniting the Kingdom of Ealdormere with a growing host of allied realms. Will the East be able to repel the attack of their neighbors or will they lose ground and be forced to sue for peace?
The Great Adventure Continues…

ACTIVITIES

Royal Court
Saturday late afternoon
Pomp and Pageantry await us this year during the court ceremony of Havre des Glaces and Ile du Dragon Dormant. Gather to hear their words and proclamations on behalf of their Majesties of the East Kingdom. This is one of the special ways we celebrate each other, it is not to be missed!
Armored Combat
Schedule will be updated soon
Beltaines is famous for its Town Battle, a fight in the center of the Old City. Fighting through medieval buildings is a magical, irreplaceable experience. You never knowing who is waiting for you around the corner.
The fort has had a major expansion in the last few years, and the battle there can now absorb a huge number of combattants. It is going to be an even more amazing experience this year!
This year we will also have Youth Armored Combat. Bring your kids and their gear and we will make sure they also have their fun!
