The hugely-popular Blacktown City Medieval Fayre and Banquet is back in 2023, promising to transport festivalgoers back to an age of knights, castles, warriors and jousting.
The Medieval Fayre will return to Nurragingy Reserve, Doonside for the first time in two years over the weekend of 20 and 21 May.
Witness the thrills of live jousting, engage with roving medieval characters, browse medieval displays and artisan arts and crafts, watch a blacksmith at work and feast on delicious treats as you soak up Medieval-themed music.
Blacktown City Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM said he was delighted to welcome all lords and ladies back to Blacktown City for the Medieval Fayre.
“The Blacktown City Medieval Fayre is one of the biggest and most highly-anticipated events on our community calendar, attracting visitors from far and wide,” Mayor Bleasdale said.
“The Fayre will offer a unique immersive experience back to Medieval times, with a huge array of shows, demonstrations and activities for everyone to enjoy.
“Competitors will travel from all over Australia to take part in the breathtaking live jousting competition in our special jousting arena, while mighty warriors will fight for glory in authentic hand-to-hand combat displays on the Field of Honour.
“There is no doubt, it is going to be a spectacular weekend for all and encourage you to get your tickets early, as they won’t last long!”
The market stage will offer fine music, a medieval marketplace of quality arts and crafts, and tasty food.
The common will bring together historical displays, interactive demonstrations and entertainment from groups representing all Medieval periods, including the Viking, Crusader and Byzantine eras.
