The Winds of Change Gallery became a castle, complete with “drawbridge” for the day\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 12, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not every day that you’ll see knights, damsels (not in distress), vikings, samurai and the odd dragon wandering around outside an art gallery.<\/p>\n

But that’s what was happening at the Winds of Change’s Medieval Fun Day held in Nanango on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The fun day – followed by a banquet held on Saturday night at Nanango RSL – capped off a month of medieval mayhem at the gallery which included workshops in a string of ancient crafts.<\/p>\n

Re-enactment troupes travelled to Nanango from Toowoomba, the Sunshine Coast and Rockhampton to add colour to the day.<\/p>\n

At the back of the area, there were medieval-style tents housing a number of stalls and demonstrations of rapier fighting and heavy armour fighting.<\/p>\n

“It’s been fabulous,” gallery spokeswoman Julia Shaw said. “A lot of these people have just donated their time. The costumes are just lovely.”<\/p>\n

Julia said the medieval banquet had been booked out … “we could have probably sold a lot more tickets”.<\/p>\n

A medieval-style dining room table and chairs, handmade by Tony Allen from Nanango (valued at $2500) was raffled; as were four hand-painted reproductions of sections of the Bayeaux Tapestry.<\/p>\n

Julia said she would particularly like to thank the Nanango Bendigo Bank who gave $1000 (and loaned their tents) to assist with the event.<\/p>\n

She said the day had been so successful, that there had already been discussions about doing it again next year.<\/p>\n
