I like a good fair and I've been to a "fair few". See how I just slipped that one in there? I couldn't resist. But it is true, I really do like it when the warmer weather rolls around and fairs and fetes are plentiful. Last year I came across one that I believe has really gone the extra mile. It's the Medieval Village Fair and is fittingly held in the gardens of Camelot Castle in Yellingbo. Yes! In an actual castle which, when not hosting the Medieval Village Fair, is a very cool function centre for events and people who really dig Medieval things. Yellingbo is a scenic trip through the Yarra Valley and about an hour from Melbourne and just twenty minutes from Lilydale.



As well as being held in the lovely gardens of a castle, there will be lots of free entertainment including roaming knights and minstrels (who will entertain and amuse by telling stories and playing tunes), a Punch and Judy puppet show, face painting, and a jumping castle. There will also be games for the kids, a medieval market place with market stalls, and many displays including metal and armour, weaving, wool spinning and leather work. You will also be able to witness candles being made the old fashioned way and Magni, an Icelandic horse . But the creme de la creme is the live action mock battles between the knights. Cheer them on as they battle it out. Hot food is available and includes Medieval hot spit rolls, hot potatoes and Devonshire tea.





This will be the fourth year for the fair, which was established to give families a friendly day out at an affordable price in spring. The event is run by volunteers from Camelot Castle, Yellingbo CFA and Woori Community House. Entry is a gold coin donation and many of the events on the day are free or very well priced. All money raised on the day goes to the local fire brigade. This year it will be held on Sunday the 23rd of October and runs from 10am - 4pm. Dressing up is encouraged and all part of the fun.



When: Sunday 23rd of October 2016 10am - 4pm
Where: 2605 Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road Yellingbo VIC 3139
