The 6th Lauder Ukulele Festival.... another amazing long weekend. Thanks to our great hosts and organisers who  worked behind the scenes for weeks prior to the event.  It was great to catch up with everyone again and wonderful to meet new people.  A big thanks to everyone, organisers, sound, food, accommodation, groups, performers, tutors and visitors, we all play a part in making it an exceptional festival. Thanks to Roger Reading for the areal photo above.

Lauder School Accommodation
I highly recommend the Lauder School Bed & Breakfast which offers a range of accommodation to suit everyone's needs. Bruce & Esmé were wonderful hosts, nothing is impossible.  Lauder is a popular stopover when cycling the Otago Central Rail Trail, being the closest town to the impressive Poolburn Gorge, viaducts and tunnels. Enjoy true southern hospitality with Bruce & Esmé.
