Nanango’s CWA Hall in Fitzroy Street played host to a Viking-themed medieval day on Saturday.
There was also a field camp on Sunday for hardy Vikings who wanted to make a full weekend of it, 4km out of town at Kurrajong Street.
Enthusiasts dressed in armour for jousting and swordplay, or medieval clothing for more leisurely pursuits like book-binding, archery or feasting.
The weekend’s event was organised by the Household of Merewyke, a medieval re-enactment group which has branches all over Australia, as a warm-up to the Winds Of Change Art Gallery’s Medieval Fayre in August.
Last year the gallery’s inaugural Medieval Fun Day proved to be one of the region’s unexpected hit events.
Now the gallery plans to hold its second one on August 23, complete with an evening Medieval Banquet.
Tickets for the 100-seat banquet are expected to become available shortly – and you can put your name on a waiting list by phoning Sandy on 0423-830-224.
