Come enjoy the hospitality of the Canton of Cluain. A weekend of much fun, merriment and entertainment of all kinds to delight, amuse and challenge. Set in the green Waikato countryside at the Pirongia Forest Park Lodge.

Summer is coming, and we will celebrate with dancing and daffodils! Since many children live in Polderslot now, the event will be fun for all ages. We will do medieval things that we can all do together like games, making flower garlands and a maypole dance. In accordance with an ancient Polderslot tradition, we will also elect a May King and Queen. Come and join our celebration of spring and dance, explore the woods and be merry! We will serve a simple breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, and lunch and feast on Saturday. The site has bunk beds with plastic covers. Please bring your own sheets, pillowcases and sleeping bags.

Have you ever wondered what goes on in the kitchen at events? Ever wanted to try your hand at “authentic” food? This is the place to start. Some of our most notable cooks have agreed to come and share their knowledge. Come prepared to enjoy a day of learning, and food.
