Billeting:
Participants have priority on buildings, based on attendance. Reenactor instructors and support personnel may consider bringing tents. If those who own them are willing to bring them, larger tents could serve as "dorm tents".

By using The Cittie of Henricus we are able to provide overnight accommodations for those who wish to have something besides a day long experience.
