A festival dedicated to medieval era is set to be held over a winter weekend in Caboolture.
Those seeking family-friendly fund and a historical spectacle in Caboolture won’t want to miss the upcoming Abbey Medieval Festival. The beloved event is returning to the suburb once again this July and promised entertainment for all ages at the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology.
The festival is a celebration of what life was like in Europe and throughout the Middle east during the Middle Ages and is attended annually by over 250,000 visitors. Those hosting major festivals set in a specific period often work with experienced banner printing services to create themed signage that complements the era.
A first-class “living history” event, the festival features unique entertainment in the form of sword fighting, birds of prey, Turkish oil wrestling, archery displays and firing cannons. However, the event highlight is the “Moreton Bay Joust Championship”. Australia’s top knights will charge head-to-head at a 30 kilometres per hour gallop to clash on both days of the festival until the victor is crowned champion.
The Medieval Festival will take place at the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology on Saturday, July 6 and Sunday, July 7. The event will start at 8:30 am on both days and the museum can be found at 31 The Abbey Place in Caboolture.
