“What to pack, when to come, and how not to accidentally offend anyone.”
Eyehasseen is open to travellers year-round—weather permitting, which it often doesn’t. To ensure a memorable and diplomatically smooth visit, we recommend reading the following guidance, twice if travelling with in-laws.
📅 When to Come
- Spring (Verdant Thaw): Ideal for countryside walks and watching locals emerge from their homes like blinking hedgehogs.
- Summer (High Sun): Festival season. Bring bunting or you’ll be issued some.
- Autumn (Fogfall): The most poetic season. Excellent for quiet contemplation and smug travel writing.
- Winter (Deep Frost): Not for the faint of heart. Great time to explore indoor sites, or remain indoors altogether.
🎒 What to Pack
- Comfortable walking shoes (preferably waterproof, ideally willing).
- A formal waistcoat or shawl for ceremonies (available locally in commemorative tartan).
- Snacks, though note that rootstew is widely available.
- A sturdy map, as GPS signals are considered a form of black sorcery in rural areas.
- A respectful disposition. Sarcasm is fine; mockery is provincial.
📜 Customs & Entry Requirements
- Visitor’s Passport Program: All guests receive a stamp upon entry. No actual powers granted, but looks lovely in a scrapbook.
- Visa Waiver: Granted freely unless you bring more than three chickens or attempt to sell herbal tonics.
- Inspection Point at Bramblegate Crossing: Say “Good morning” and look slightly confused. You’ll be waved through.
🎉 Holidays & Calendar Notes
Major observances include:
- The Bunting Elevation (May)
- Feast of St. Joan of Arc (June)

💱 Currency
