Federation Park, Main Rd Gumeracha
South Australia.
The second Gumeracha Medieval Fair was held on the 3rd and 4th of
May 2008. It was a huge success with over 6,000 people coming to
enjoy two days of fun and excitement.
We were entertained by seven re-enactment groups from South
Australia and Victoria, including ancient style dancing groups,
archers, Knights and Vikings. The crowds cheered, swords
clashed, and warriors roared as knights and Vikings battled for the
favours of the beautiful medieval maidens in the combat arena.
The park was alive with medieval music and colour. Musicians,
merchants and artisans in costume created the atmosphere and revelry
of eight hundred years ago.
Visitors experienced a taste of Medieval life in the re-created
medieval village which included spinners & weavers, woodworkers and
silversmiths, herbalist, produce merchant and the cobbler and many
more. All were welcome to pat the fury beasties, dress in armour, or
try their hand at making chain mail.
Already we are planning for next years Gumeracha Medieval Fair on
the 3rd and 4th of May. See you there! |
