St Ives Medieval Faire

International medieval jousting, a life-size medieval catapult hurling watermelons, a medieval tavern and fully immersive historical village—St Ives Medieval Faire is back for another year of medieval action and frivolity!

Australia’s most authentic medieval experience is returning to Sydney’s north shore this September, 21–22, offering the chance to escape the hustle and bustle and step back into a simpler time of lords and ladies, Vikings and wenches.

St Ives Medieval Faire is Australia’s premier historical event. Proudly presented by Ku-ring-gai Council, the Faire is a two-day, fully-immersive showcase of medieval life, drama, food and spectacular family entertainment.

The family-friendly event boasts a range of activities for all ages, including:
- International solid lance joust tournament with the best knights from around the world
- A living medieval village filled with more than 350 historical reenactors and authentic medieval markets
- Traditional birds of prey
- A life-size trebuchet (a giant medieval catapult)
- Traditional archery displays
- Medieval food and drink
- Medieval minstrels and musicians
- Lots of kids’ activities including a knight’s academy, medieval workshops and hands-on learning.
