Blacktown City Council - Media Release - Return To The Dark Ages At The Medieval Fayre



29 April 2019


Festivalgoers will be transported back in time to a land filled

with swords, knights, horses and lances at Blacktown City 

Festival’s Medieval Fayre.


The Blacktown City Medieval Fayre will transform Nurragingy

 Reserve on Saturday and Sunday, 18 - 20 May.


“More than 80,000 people are expected to attend the event

and get a rare insight into the world of lords, ladies, dames

and knights,” Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali MP said.


“Nurragingy Reserve will be taken back to the dark ages over

two days with numerous events throughout the day,” Mayor

Bali said.


“There will be roving entertainment, free camel and pony 

rides, armour displays, handmade arts and crafts, a working 

blacksmith hut and the highlight of the event, a jousting 

competition with competitors from across Australia.”


Following the success of the inaugural Medieval banquet in


2018, it will be returning bigger and better on Saturday, 18

May.


“There is no better way to follow up a jousting

competition than by attending a Medieval Banquet offering 

an authentic experience,” Mayor Bali said.


“We want all diners to be dressed in theme so they can truly

revel in the experience of dining on medieval food and drinks 

while taking part in various activities throughout the night.”
