Events

Coming Sippungen and special evenings

We sipp on Mondays at Glock 7 d. A. — seven in the evening —, a Sippung lasts about three and a half hours and ends towards half past ten. Where (B) stands, the Burgfrauen are invited; times that differ are given with the event itself.

Einreiter and guests are welcome. A short note through the contact form is enough for us to expect you.

Three evenings worth marking

  • 30 November 2026 — 136th Founding Festival
    Full armour, music, songs and the Liebesmahl of the Reych. The festive height of the winter season.
  • 20 February 2027 — Knighting of Jk David and Jk Kevin
    Saturday, Glock 12. Two Junker become Ritter — one of the moments in Schlaraffia nobody forgets.
  • 11 April 2027 — Pickelhaube Sippung
    Sunday, Glock 10. The Reych's own tradition, kept nowhere else but Dover.

The programme of the individual Sippungen below is given in German — it is the working language of the Reych.

🦉 Guests welcome! You are free to look in on our events as a guest, without obligation. No admission, no commitment — simply have a look and experience the Schlaraffen game for yourself. A short word beforehand is welcome.
