Abbey Medieval Festival
Caboolture
Travel back into history at the Abbey Medieval Festival, Queensland’s largest Medieval re-enactment weekend, with two action-filled days of adventure on the grounds of Abbeystowe, Caboolture on July 8 and 9, 2023.
Immerse yourself in the excitement as you cheer on the champions of the Moreton Bay Medieval Joust Championship proudly supported by Moreton Bay Regional Council.
Discover the thrill of the Tournament as iron clad Knights battle with sword and steel for honour and glory, while the Trebuchet fires a great stone to bring down the castle wall, and the cannon booms across the field.
Interact with re-enactors as you explore medieval life in over 40 encampments presenting 600 years of history, with live demonstrations of craftmanship, animals, and daily life.
Tickle your tastebuds and spend your coins in the Medieval markets, with over 65 medieval-inspired food, drink and retail stalls, or join your fellow lords and ladies for a cool drink at the Medieval Stag Inn or Viking Mead Heorot Hall.
The Festival offers fun-filled activities for the whole family with Kids Kingdom, puppet shows, arts and crafts, and medieval games, plus be entertained throughout the day with jugglers, jesters, roving performers, and musicians.
With armoured knights on horseback, the clash of swords at the castle siege, the boom of cannons firing, the bustling Medieval marketplace and more, Abbey Medieval Festival is a unforgettable experience for all ages.
