Feast Gear

Providing plates, bowls, utensils, etc. for a hundred people can be difficult; therefore, events require that each person attending feast provide their own feast gear.

As a Newcomer, you may be able to borrow feast gear for your first event. Ask your Chatelaine if your local group has loner feast gear or someone with extras that is willing to share.

Buying your own feast gear can be pretty simple: there are many vendors at events or on etsy that specifically sell feast gear. Look for wooden plates and bowls and simply crafted metal utensils and you’re pretty much golden!
