With Spring now little more than a month away, it’s probably time to dust off your jousting lance, sharpen your sword blades and remove any rust that’s built up on your battle axe.
On Saturday, August 8 the Nanango Medieval Fayre will be returning to take you on a journey into the dark ages of medieval mayhem.
The free all-day Fayre will be running in George Street, Nanango next to the Nanango Cultural Centre; at the nearby Winds Of Change Art Gallery across the road; and in all available spaces in between.
Guests will be able to experience the excitement of living history with live re-enactments of Viking heavy fighting, a public witch trail, boffer fighting, archery and market stalls.
The Fayre will also be offering puppet making, shield making, flower garland making and many other fun activities for children.
And the public are welcome to come dressed in their best medieval attire to participate in the Fayre’s fashion parade and best dressed competition.
But if all your best medieval clobber is currently at the dry-cleaners, costumes are also on sale at the Winds of Change Gallery to ensure you blend into the crowd.
At day’s end, the merriment will continue with an authentic medieval feast at the Nanango Cultural Centre.
For $35 a head, guests can tuck into an all-you-can-eat buffet featuring roast pork, lamb shanks, chicken drumsticks, crispy roast potatoes, crusty breads and delicious desserts while being entertained by Celtic dancers, belly dancers and many other delights.
There’ll also be a licensed bar stocking all the usual treats, plus medieval cider and mead.
Tickets to the Medieval Feast can be obtained at the Winds Of Change Gallery or by phoning 0409-060-315.
Stall holders can book spaces at the Fayre by phoning Sandy Towell on 0423-830-224 or Jacqui Burns on 0400-799- 360.
This year’s Fayre is being presented by the Nanango Art Society and is sponsored by Country Focus, NaTDA and Wild Horse FM 99.7.
