THE CLASH OF ARMS AND THE LUTH MUSIC
Recently when Queen Gnievomira announced the date of the Grand Tournament, the turmoil engulfed not only in the entire kingdom, but also in neighboring lands.
Masters of sword, bow and other weapons have intensified their training. Bards and minstrels polish their new repertoire, artists prepare paints and brushes – they all hope not only to win great awards and royal favor but who knows, maybe even a place in the royal court.
DANCES, INTIGES, MYSTERIES
Counts and princes forever fighting for the royal grace, know that their entourage must also include courtiers, merchants, scientists and spies, because great court events are always an excellent opportunity for business and for intrigues and behind-the-scenes coterie fights.
And those who prefer to have fun instead of fighting are already looking forward for the Queen’s Ball, which is an inseparable element of the Tournament – court celebrities can show the latest trends in costumes to the general public or show the steps of the dances that are fashionable this season!
YOU CANNOT MISS THERE
Queen Gnievomira invites you – is is certain there is a place for everyone at the Great Royal Tournament!

THE PARTICIPANT’S OPINION ABOUT OUR EVENTS
The event is a wonderful opportunity to join an international community. I and the other international participants have made friends in Poland and beyond, whom we’d have had no other opportunity to meet; and even keep in touch beyond the school
Thomas Deakin
I did something incredibly brave and stupid and got on a plane alone to a foreign country I had never been to. I had a list of names, a costume, and dreams of being a witcher in my head. And I don’t regret it. I say that somewhere timid Izzy found her voice in Poland. And I thank the whole team for that newfound confidence I gained from my character.
Izzy Gulley
The worldwide community of Witcher School made me feel accepted the way I am and even more – players and NPCs alike helped me cross my borders to challenging situations and celebrate every success together. This “game” affected my real life in the most positive way, because …after all: the emotions, the memories and most of all the friendships are real!
Bernadette Walterskirchen
Witcher School, and its community, are an incredibly unique experience. Here, you will see so many people, from all walks of life, step forward and live in this powerful setting. I have never known a home as warm and loving as the WS community. This collection of nerds, geeks, warriors and survivors have gladly taken me in, and helped me find my own strength within myself.

FAQ
The places we host the events at have vegan, gluten free and other options, but we need to be notified in advance so we can also inform the venue. It is best to include all such information in the signup form.
Absolutely not! Tournament fights are entertainment only for those willing. If you prefer to act only as a spectator, it is possible - the more that the tournament itself is only a pretext to gather in one place representatives of various lands of the Kingdom. We are also planning many interesting activities for people who do not take an active part in the tournament.
All the better, because the outfit we provide is only a basic garment. If you want to prepare your own costume - we will soon preper galleries with inspirations. We also invite you to our rental (right now only in Polish) - we have special discounts for participants of the Grand Royal Tournament!
Royal Tournament costs between 2300-2400 PLN, depending on your lodging. All players are staying in a castle, in rooms for 1-5 people. We provide accomodation, 3 meals a day (supper on the day the game starts, breakfast on the day the game ends), basic kit, safe weapons, many atmospheric attractions and, above all, an unforgettable adventure!
The Grand Royal Tournament is for every adult who wants to experience an unforgettable adventure in a fantastic world - regardless of their gender, personal beliefs or background.

Depends on your mode of transportation. We will gladly provide tips on reaching the venue in the most convenient way. If necessary, an external company can help provide a bus from and to the Wroclaw International Airport to the castle at a small fee.
The event lasts for 4 days (Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning), and takes place in beautiful Polish castles in Lower Silesia. Thursday afternoon is arrivals and accreditation. Thursday evening - the game starts, lasting through Friday and Saturday. Saturday night marks end of game and afterparty. Sunday is breakfast and goodbyes.There is also a pre-party on Wednesday evening if you’d like to get to know your co-participants.
Everything you need to know about the world in which our game takes place, we will put in the materials prepared for players. Don't worry, it won't be much!
Imagine, that you can live - really live, not only read about - the fantastic adventures you know from books, movies or games. For four days, become the heroine you always wanted to be and experience the thrill of staying at the royal court and participating in the Grand Tournament organized by the ruler.
In the real world, outside of the game, the Grand Grand Tournament has very strict rules against discrimination of any kind, physical or emotional, and no such behavior will be tolerated. In the game, there is a possibility of encountering violence (also sexual), racism, classism, poverty, war, hunger, disabilities, disease, manipulation, etc.If you inform us in the registration questionnaire, what may cause you discomfort, we will make sure that your character does not have such threads in his story and quests for the game. However, we cannot guarantee that you will not come across uncomfortable topics in the game, and therefore during the pre-game workshops we will introduce you to the tools that will allow you to react to such situations during the game.
The participant’s safety is a key value for us. Grand Tournament is preceded by a series of workshops explaining the safety mechanics and tools that are meant to ensure the players have adequate tools to stay safe during the game. Appointed emotional safety staff is available all the time throughout the game to address any issues that might arise and also provide comfort if necessary. A trained medical professional is available on site. Any and all issues can be raised with the organizer team. If you have a suggestion on improving safety at our larps- please contact us at [email protected] or anonymously at askanything.com
