Site
- Old St Michael's Church in Corbans Estate Art Centre, 426 Great North Rd, Henderson, Auckland 0610, New Zealand
(The entrance is off Mount Lebanon Lane in Henderson. Note this is the OLD St Michaels Church, not the new one on the other side of Great North Road.) - Please note no open flames allowed at this site, so no candles, please.
- Kitchen facilities are very limited, so it's best if you plan to bring something that does not require heating or refrigeration. Crockpots can be used and are a great option for bringing warm food. If you can bring a serving spoon even better!
- Public Transport: close to the Henderson Train Station if looking to use public transport.
What to bring:
- A plate to share
- Whatever you would like to drink (we will supply water)
- Feasting kit (plate, bowl, knife, spoon, cup)
- Period(esque) games
- Musical instruments
- Dancing feet!
- Banners and Paegantry
What NOT to bring:
- Sadly, the site desn't allow open flames, so please don't bring candles.
- And as always in this new normal, if you are feeling even slightly unwell, please stay home. Let us know in advance or on the day, and we will give you a full refund.
Interested in performing? Tell us!
We'd like to let people showcase their skills in music, song and dance during the evening depending on who would like to share their talents with us - this will be an informal evening, not a concert, but rather a low-pressure opportunity to share during the evening. To this end, if you have anything you'd like to offer as entertainment or performance, please let the stewards know! Be it song, music, poetry, juggling... we'd love to hear from you! If you would be willing to join in with playing an instrument for live dance music, we'd also love to know.
If you're interested, please contact Eleanor Hall (steward) to volunteer your skills.
People
- Steward - Eleanor Hall (Nicola)
- Deputy Stewards - Sympkyn of the Moor (Ian)
If you're new:
This is a costumed event - we ask that you wear an attempt at clothes from before 1700 (most people wear medieval or renaissance clothes). If you do not have anything please contact us in advance and we can try to arrange something. If you want to come last minute and don't have anything to wear, we can arrange a tabard for you to wear over your normal clothes.
If you don't have feasting gear (plate, bowl, spoon, knife, cup) please let the Stewards know AHEAD OF TIME and we'll arrange something for you to borrow. There will be water on the tables, but if you want something else to drink, bring it. A jug or a cloth to cover a modern bottle can help keep things looking medieval.
If you have any questions, or would like to borrow costume, or just want to introduce yourself, please contact Eleanor Hall (Steward)
