The Tuatha de Bhriain is a re-creation society that attempts to re-enact the spirit and material culture of 5th century Ireland. Founded in 1986, we are a group of like-minded individuals most of whom live on Long Island, in New York. We typically hold 4 Events a year on the ancient Celtic Holidays, three of these are weekend camp outs and our winter event is a day long indoor event. We also hold at least 4 planning meetings a year in between our events.

This web site has been posted primarily to serve the members of our clann with information to help achieve our goals, but any who would find our site useful, or those who are just plain curious, are more than welcome and even encouraged to browse.

As re-enactors, we endevor to re-create the atmosphere of our chosen time period as best we can. This includes wearing period clothing, eating period foods, practicing period crafts and customs, using period technology and tools, and interacting with each other as the people of our chosen culture would have. You can check out our Photo Gallery for a better glimpse at what we do.

The key elements of our hobby are imagination, effort, and the vast amount of research found in learned texts and archeological journals. It is a challenging yet highly rewarding hobby, as well as out-right fun! If this hobby sounds like something you would enjoy, check out our How To section to find out more about the possibility of becoming part of our clann. If you are far from our area, or interested in a different culture, you can still join into our online discussions as a website member. We try to keep this site geared to period pursuits, but we also maintain a more mundane mailing list if you just want to chew the fat.
