Highland Hearthglow, A.S. LIX was a major undertaking that sought to create a new event framework which could be used to create an immersive and experiential A&S display for the attendees. The format of the event was an all-day historical feast, researched, interpreted, and extensively documented over the course of a year. The now-annual event will focus on Hospitality as the main theme, traveling through a new historical context each year. This inaugural year’s even was themed around Savoy, France at the turn of the 15th Century.
The event featured our Banquet Hall where a five course, twenty-four dish menu was served throughout the day. Interludes included the generous performances of our Populace throughout the day in the Hall, as well as a second area set as our Auberge, or Tavern for the day where additional A&S displays around games, brewing, and other hospitality were provided which served as another avenue of diversion for our guests. Serving as both Event Steward and Feast Steward for this even, I was supported by a huge staff of amazing volunteers, and we are happy to say it was a huge success. Many of the recipes have been transposed into this site, but the full documentation for the event remains archived on its own site which you can visit below.
