Saturday May 21st - Blacktown Medieval Fayre - Nurragingy Reserve.
We decided to head out the the My Lords and Ladies Medieval Fayre at Nurragingy Reserve this year. We had seen it advertised for a few years but had always had plans the weekend it was on. This year we made it there and i must say, it was quite amazing. Saturday, the sun shone down and the wind was low and the people were dressed up in all their Medieval Gear.
Showing Medieval times swords, clothing, cooking, tapestry, jousting, fighting, sleeping, woodwork and metal work. It was quite the show!
With Free Camel and Pony rides for the kids, a huge tent filled with craft items so the kids could make their own Shields or Swords or Princess Crowns. There were Jesters and Robin Hood, The Fryer Tuck and Maid Marion. Hagrid and Dumbledore even turned up!
The crowds were great, with food stalls and festival stalls selling all sorts of items from Medieval Trinkets to Plants to Home Grown Honey's and Jams.
The International Jousting Competition was truly the highlight of the days. Watching these Knights and Ladies (Yes, Lady Sarah!) were hot in the arena drawing huge crowds to watch. With riders from the UK, US and Australia and NZ it was a thrilling event.
I can't wait for next year as i'll definately be going in some sort of costume and get right into the feel of the day!
Well Done Blacktown Council and all of the Medieval Groups for making this day a HUGE Success!
