Featuring the Moreton Bay Joust Championship

Nothing excites like the thrill of the joust! Knights go head to head at 30kph and clash at the centre of the list!

Australia’s top jousters face off in a round robin format each day of the Festival. There are three sessions on both Saturday and Sunday. Points are accumulated to the scoring criteria, then the three highest scoring jousters will battle in the grand final on Sunday at 3pm to crown our new 2024 Moreton Bay Medieval Joust Championship champion!

Re-enactors

This was my first experience, and I’m sure going again. We had a lot of fun. There are a lot of things to do and see, it’s actually worth going both days. We were definately not bored. There is great, mostly authentic food there, a lot to choose from. Family friendly.

This festival has it all! Knights charging at one another, ancient antiquities, hens in gypsy camps, reenactments of all kinds, and food that is both authentic and finger licking good. It is well worth the ticket price to get in and the majority of acts there after is free to watch and participate in. There is reason to bring cash along though, as the stores and stalls selling goods of all types is bountiful and has such variance that there is certain to be something at least for everyone.

Always an awesome day out. The tournaments and jousts are spectacular. The reenactors put on great displays and performances. The show is back on and everyone is stepping up to make it another great show this year.
