Site Opens: 10:00am and Site Closes: 9:00pm
Join the celebration of the unique culture of Barony An Dubhaigheainn as our patron saint, St. Andrew, goes beyond the Pale and sets off from the port of Calais on the last leg of his six year journey, winding his way back to York, England for next year’s Baronial Investiture!
The Pale of Calais fell under English rule for two hundred years after the Treaty of Brétigny on October 25, 1360, which marked the end of the Hundred Years War.
