BEN DUNFIRTH
Who We Are
The Barony of Ben Dunfirth is the branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) serving the Hamilton, Brantford, and Burlington area of Ontario, Canada in the Kingdom of Ealdormere.

We welcome all people interested in historical re-enactment, trying new crafts and activities, learning about the past, or becoming involved in a family-friendly hobby that has something to offer for all ages.

A&S Workshop
A workshop for anyone to join, get assistance, or socialize and work on their Arts & Science projects together. All are welcome to attend.
