Our last event for the year. It would be wonderful to see your smiling
faces enjoying this end of year revelry. Highly affordable. We promise
mayhem and merriment as the Princeps subverts the usual baronial order in
true Roman fashion.
Saturnalia Krae Glas, 13 December Other
Salvete et io Saturnalia omnes!
This year we will be running a Saturnalia event instead of our usual final
crafthall of the year.
This event is based on the ancient Roman winter festival which venerated
the god Saturn (Kronos for any Greek fans out there). Saturnalia was a time
for revelry, where societal rules were temporarily disregarded, and roles
in society reversed. This year in honour of the Roman tradition, there will
be a craft station for making things for gift giving, a king of
shenanigans, and board games!
This will be a POTLUCK so please bring your own food and drink, Roman
themed food highly encouraged!
There will be awarded a 'Saturnalia Princeps'. This is the
‘Prince/Ruler/Emperor of Saturnalia’, who presides over the shenanigans at
the event, as was done in the Roman Empire.
This is akin to a court jester sitting on the throne – someone who is
selected to be the highest authority, and gives anyone and everyone funny
tasks, orders, or ideas to propagate shenanigans.
The number one rule of dealing with the Saturnalia Princeps is that you are
allowed to say no. If you are uncomfortable, unable, or simply do not want
to do the thing that is asked of you, you should say no and the Princeps
will respect this.
If you would like to be Saturnalia Princeps, or nominate someone for the
role, you must book prior to the event.
