This is the largest event for the Society of Creative Anachronism in Queensland, featuring battles, tournaments, merchants and markets, camping, classes and courts, entertainments and much more.

The Barony of St Florian de la Riviere are the happy host for this year’s GNW and hope to see and catch up with as many of our friends as possible. Our aim this year is to continue to the amazing work undertaken by our past Stewards, to build on the positive vibe and excitement that GNW 2024 ended with and to keep growing the premier Northern Reaches event for all to enjoy.

The 2025 Great Northern War will be held on the same site used for GNW 2024. The site has proven to be more mobility friendly, wheelchair accessible, with disability showers and toilets. It has plenty of space for camping, with access to some powered sites and also has bunks to accommodate wayfarers.

There will be plenty to do, with tournaments, war battles, archery competitions, A&S classes and competitions. Youth boffer tourneys are returning for our younger SCA members, and other children’s activities. Our Feastocrat is busy planning a delicious on-board menu for you to partake, evening games and other fun is being planned for the evenings. And the traditional GNW bonfire will make an appearance each night.

New for this GNW is the introduction of the Owlet Academy and the Powerful Protean Prize.
