Greetings!

GroupPhotoWelcome to the Barony of Ildhafn

We are a medieval and renaissance re-creation club, interested in the good parts of pre-1600 history (i.e. we're leaving out the bigotry, sexism, racism and intolerance, not to mention the terrible medical care!).

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

This website is mainly about the Auckland branch. We have a sister group which covers Hamilton/Waikato (known as the Canton of Cluain). There are also SCA groups elsewhere in New Zealand, and around the world.

Weekend workshops 2023

From the Seneschal - Greetings!
 
The call is being put out for anyone that wants to share their skills and talents or pass on any information/knowledge that may be burning inside them.
 
Last year saw a succession of very well attended and awesome Weekend Workshops. The focus was mainly garb as we had Coronation looming and people wanted to not be naked!
 
This year we would love for everyone to share their skills and also to tell us what you would like to attend.

The Navy of Lochac

From their Excellencies of Ildhafn

Greetings Good Gentles of the Barony of Ildhafn

The Baronage of Ildhafn has two ports of note within its shores. During Canterbury Faire it came to Our attention that the Lord High Admiral of Lochac, Don Martuccio Lorenzo Nico Cavalcanti de Medici, had but a small fleet and one oar. To ensure that Our messages continue to reach Crown, We approached the Admiral with the offer of ships for the Royal Navy.
