Victorian Medieval Festival 2024
Ever wondered what it was like to live in the medieval era? The Victorian Medieval Festival offers you the chance to step back in time as it returns to Kryal Castle on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th November.
A fascinating weekend of medieval adventure awaits, from massed battles in the main arena to a spectacular Birds of Prey show, roaming reenactors, a mighty trebuchet and the heart-pumping spectacle of Australia’s largest joust. For little adventurers, the fun never ends! Enrol in our Knight School to master the skills of knighthood or try archery.
Then, continue your afternoon at the tavern where you can enjoy live entertainment with a pint of mead in hand, of course.
