Well met!


The House of Sydney is a professional troupe of seasoned Renaissance performers that offer patrons, students, and festival promoters performances in manners, etiquette, and weaponry of the period while involving them in the everyday activities of a noble house on progress in service of the Crown during the 1500s and 1600s.

2008 is well underway! Huzzah!  The House of Sydney’s presence has been requested and demanded by several old friends and a few new ones for 2008. On April 24th, our season will begin with our annual visit to the Parkview Middle School.  What a great audience!  Over a hundred students listen and interact with us as we discuss our day-to-day lives, our clothing, weapons, food, entertainment, and, most importantly, the Wolfhounds.   We hope to build on that success for the rest of this year!
