The Shire of Smythkepe bids you welcome to the CURRENT MIDDLE AGES.

We are a local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism or SCA.

And just what is the SCA you might ask...

"The SCA is an international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe. Our "Known World" consists of 19 kingdoms, with over 30,000 members residing in countries around the world. Members, dressed in clothing of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, attend events which feature tournaments, royal courts, feasts, dancing, various classes & workshops, and more.”

- Excerpted from the Official S.C.A. Inc. web site

Smythkepe belongs to the Kingdom of Gleann Abhann and is located in the Ft Smith-Van Buren region of Western Arkansas.

That said, pull up a chair, join us by the fire and prepare to experience what we call “Smythkepe Hospitality” ™
