Over 40 re-enactment groups from around the country participate at the Abbey Medieval Festival. These groups are dedicated to re-enacting medieval life from Europe and the Near East from the era of 600-1600AD. The Abbey Medieval Festival is proud to be among Australia’s best re-enactment events.
Re-enactment groups commit many hours to ensure the quality of their presentation and performance at the Abbey Medieval Festival. Visitors to the encampments will see history come alive as re-enactors portray life, arts and traditions of the Middle Ages.
