Perth Medieval Fayre

Perth Medieval Fayre

The WA Medieval Alliance, the gateway to medieval groups and likeminded folk in Western Australia, proudly presents the 3^rd Annual Medieval Fayre at the Perth Supreme Court Gardens on Saturday 5^th April 2008.  The Fayre is held suitably close to All Fools Day, a folk celebration that began to appear in Europe in the late Middle Ages.

A plethora of Perth’s medieval clubs will be on display showing off their various talents including historical European swordsmanship, dark ages combat, renaissance fencing and swashbuckling. The fayre is rich with traditions, full of exciting and thrilling misadventures, storytellers and tales, all set in a time where chivalry, grace and courtesy were a part of everyday life.

Wondrous and diverse entertainment, fun, frolic and folly will be the order of the day. Join with the nobles, serfs, Vikings, Saxons, Celts, Knights and Ladies that will grace our lively city. A grand parade will travel through the fayre grounds, delighting all with dancers, merchants, minstrels and everything medieval.

President of the WA Medieval Alliance, Steve Osborne says “Each year the fayre enjoys a healthy growth in both participation and patronage. It’s more fun than the black death, less strenuous than the crusades."

The Medieval Fayre welcomes all individuals and families from pre 16^th century or the present day. Dressing to the medieval theme is highly encouraged, however not mandatory. Discount costume hire is available from various outlets and are listed on the WAMA website – www.wama.asn.au 

Entry is affordable for one and all at only $5 and $3 for concession and for those in costume. Children under 13 are free. Mystical and upbeat music along with colourful, creative medieval characters will adorn the gardens commencing from 10am and concluding at 5pm.

The Perth Medieval Fayre 2008 is proudly sponsored by the City of Perth and Healthway to promote Go For 2&5^® , and is a smoke free event.
