Sidhehaven is the private residential site of one of our own, Ceret of Elympos. This magical site is a mixture of residence, sacred ground, the home to Sidhefire Arts, and event venue. It’s located in the rural countryside of Rainier, Washington. The site has played host to Fiefdom events for Karma Legio in the past, regularly hosts Midweek Medieval, and will host Elympos events in the future.

The site features onsite parking; a main field that can hold limited camping space or combat space; a few trails ideal for archery runs; and indoor space.

Site Rules

Site is a private residence. If you know the address already, please do not post it on websites or public forums. If you do not have it, it will be posted on an event’s Facebook invite prior to the event.
Strict 5mph speed limit coming into, driving through, or exiting this site.
Pack-it-in-pack-it-out / Leave No Trace. There is onsite garbage/recycling, but they may not be available for use. Find out first. If they are not, take all trash out with you.
There are trails around the site in the forest. Pay attention to those leading into private property.
This is a strictly no-drama space. Don't bring it with you. Everyone is welcome unless they are specifically told by Ceret, Phyllis or Uno otherwise. Be courteous and respectful to others while on the property.
This is an inclusive safe space and we support individuality and choice. When in doubt, ask which pronouns a person prefers and do your best to remember.
No means no. Ask before touching someone, including hugging or casual touch. Be respectful of everyone’s’ personal boundaries.
No swordfighting in the house. No wrestling in the house. No firespinning or firebreathing in the house. Take it outside.
Clean up after yourself. Bonus! Clean up after someone else. Take your leftovers home (unless it's booze, we'll make an exception for you leaving beer, whiskey, mead or cider here :-) )
Energy exchange. Are you gaining value out of your time here? It's a lot of work to maintain Sidhehaven as community-available space. Volunteer to help out. We love people who do volunteer work days here.
While we love to share Sidhehaven with others please remember that first and foremost this is our home. Sometimes we need quiet, alone space. Be respectful of the fact that we are not always available, and when we tell you it's time to leave, gather your things, offer us a hug, and leave. :-)
Welcome home.
