” Ten days of camping, exiting classes and workshops, chivalrous tournaments, archery, excellent company, and that magical atmosphere of the Northern Summer nights… That’s what Cudgel Wars is all about.”

The Site

Kavalahti Camping Site (Björnvikintie 109, 10230 Inkoon as), Inkoo, Finland. About an hour from Helsinki by car, and 90 minutes from Turku. There is also public transportation that comes rather close (bus on Route 51, train to Karjaa).

The event is foremost a tent camp. The site has drinkable tap water inside and proper toilets. There are showers in the saunas.

Unfortunately the site is a camping site, which can be challenging for people with reduced mobility. The toilet for disabled people is about 200 meters from the indoor sleeping space, near the kitchen

Meals

Three meals are served daily: generous breakfast, light lunch and a warm supper. We serve two feasts during the event, the first is a traditional feast on Wednesday and the second is open to everybody on the 2nd Saturday. There are also two small kitchens for those who want to cook for themselves.

We will not be able to serve meals for everyone, due to the small kitchen, so please reserve early. The Wednesday Feast can be served for 120 people.

All meals are low lactose. While registering, you can select lactose free, gluten free or lacto-ovo-vegetarian meals. Unfortunately we cannot take into account any other allergies or special diets. Please consider that there is always a risk of contamination, because we don’t have a separate kitchen for the allergy foods.

There may be some changes in meals this year due to COVID-19.

The COVID-19 situation will affect the event. For example, we may need to restrict the use of indoor spaces, give guidance on wearing masks, and make changes to how meals are conducted. Details will be provided later.
