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.
These 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.
