After last year’s weather forced Nanango’s Medieval Fayre to take cover in the Cultural Centre, Saturday’s sunshine had everyone smiling.
Mary Okely, from the Winds of Change Art Gallery which hosts the festival, said it had been a beautiful day with “lots of people, lots of sunshine”.
There were lots of stalls dotted around the gallery’s grounds in George Street, as well as displays of traditional arts and crafts.
In the evening, a medieval feast attracted a good crowd at the Nanango Cultural Centre.
This is the third year that the Gallery has put on the festival, which attracts knights, damsels, vikings and peasants from all over south-east Queensland.
Most are members of the Society For Creative Anachronism, an international group dedicated to recreating the arts and skills of pre-17th Century Europe.
Australia is part of SCA’s “Kingdom of Lochac” which has a King and Queen as well as Baronies and Shires. The House Merewyke group in Nanango is associated with the Barony of River Haven (Brisbane).
