Welcome, my Lords and Ladies, Merchants and Peasants to the 20th Abbey Medieval Festival and Tournament on the 11th and 12th July 2009.
The Abbey Museum holds the festival to raise funds to maintain its priceless collections. The Museum would like to acknowledge the support and dedication of the re-enactors and performers that makes the festival possible. The award-winning festival received the inaugural 2009 Community Event Award by the Moreton Bay Regional Council in January.
The festival is the largest authentic medieval event in Australia. It spans a thousand years in Europe and the Middle East from the Dark Ages to the High Middle Ages, from AD 600 to 1600.
Please note that this year we are ticketing the Jousting Spectacular with a small extra cost to make sure as many people as possible can see the event, one of our most popular and thrilling spectacles (See The Joust).
Please also be aware that traffic controls will be in place on Old Toorbul Point Road for a short time during the festival. See the Location map page for traffic details.
The festival begins on Saturday, 4 July, with our famous Medieval Banquet. Through the week there will be a range of activities, culminating with the weekend Tournament on 11 & 12th July.
There is something for all ages at the Tournament. The breath-taking pageantry of the Joust; the courage and skill of knights in armed combats; a new and spectacular Grand Parade with over 500 re-enactors parading from the castle; a Masque Ball, educational talks and exotic food. Visit the renowned Medieval market to indulge your shopping fantasies or the Stag Inn and the Tavern to satisfy your thirst. There is music, dance, arts and crafts and rich photographic opportunities.
Come and enjoy the magic of the 20th Abbey Medieval Tournament on the 11th and 12th July 2009.
