Barony of Ildhafn

Greetings!

elcome to Ildhafn

We are a medieval and renaissance re-creation club.

We hold regular events where we dress like medieval or renaissance people, feast, dance, sing and participate in tournaments. Between events, most of us practice various arts & crafts, and pursue specialised areas of interest such as weaving, dancing, fencing, armouring, sewing, heraldry, shoe-making, book-binding, calligraphy, illumination, music, brewing & cooking. There are few historic crafts that one of us would not have touched on at some time.

New members are welcome, whether you want to become heavily involved, or just have a go once or twice a year.

The website for the Hamilton/Waikato part of the group (the Canton of Cluain) is here. There are links here to other SCA groups in New Zealand, and around the world.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Ball on Saturday - it was a great success (at least for me, and I hope for all of you).

Rowany Festival AS XLVII

Rowany Festival AS XLVII was held from Thursday 28th March 2013 to Tuesday 2nd April at Glenworth Valley near Gosford, NSW, Australia this Easter. There were five of us this year from the Cresent Isles that made the journey 'across the ditch' to Terra Rosa...

We all were hosted in style in our respective campsites, old friendships were strengthened, and new friendships were forged amongst the populous there setting the scene for six glorious days in the ever changable Valley weather.
