Abbey Medieval Festival and Tournament
Held over the 9th and 10th of July, the always-popular event attracts numerous visitors who come to embrace a lifestyle lost long ago.
Overview
I have a secret to confess: ever since I saw A Knight’s Tale many moons again, I’ve always had a sneaking desire to attend the Abbey Medieval Festival. A chance to dress up, attend an old-school banquet and potentially meet my own (literal) knight in shining armor? Who could say no?
Held over the 9th and 10th of July, the always-popular event attracts numerous visitors who come to embrace a lifestyle lost long ago. The jousting tournament and Turkish Oil Wrestling pit seem to be marketed as the main attractions, however I think the constant re-enactments would provide the most amusement as well as information on the era. I also wouldn’t pass up any of the medieval cuisine on offer, but that could just be my obsession with food.
It may seem like a bit of a drive, but I promise it will be worth it. Hot people in costumes! A falcon show! Delicious foods! And off to Caboolture we go.
