It is held over the August bank holiday weekend. The final battle of The Gathering once drew around 1200 players on each side, but recent figures are not in the public domain. These were some of the largest Live Action battles in Europe. The setting for these events is the fictional world of Erdreja which is described as "high fantasy/medieval". (en) |
