parasol Duelling
Sunday, 31 May 2026, HIGH NOON
Harbour Street

BYO parasol - for a mass duel on Harbour Street at High Noon!

 

Discover the ancient and honourable Victorian past-time of Parasol Duelling, a non-combat sport originating in Canada with remarkably similar rules to "rock paper sissors" but involving the use and postioning of parasols. 

​

We will explain the rules, then open up the field for all to compete.  In a most orderly fashion, contestants will be eliminated until the final four duellers remain. Spectators can cheer on their champion in the final play off. 

​

Look for the spectacular Travelling Parasol Duelling Station, equipped with duelling parasols for the final contestants to use. 

 

Note this is a non contact sport!
