Don your cloaks, hats and best medieval outfit, it’s time to experience the
wonders of a medieval winter at Wirrina Cove and the Armour & Alchemy
Winter Medieval Folk Fair set to go off with an explosion of medieval
mastery and mayhem!
Not only will we be filled with medieval village and mid-winter vibes, we are also
bringing the best of music and dance to our event this year with a fabulous array of performers.
Morris Dancers, Mummers Players and Minstrels. Winter fires, warming
whisky, delicious eats, hand crafts all village style. Knights in battle. Feats of
strength. And for the first time, music, live and loud into the evening with a
feast and concert with local Pagan folk rockers Spiral Dance playing music to rock your ancestors.
Marvel at the skills of master artisans through live leather-working
demonstrations and take home a unique handcrafted piece. Learn the secrets
of wood carving from expert craftsmen as they create beautiful hand-carved
toys and kitchen tools before your eyes. Dive deep into Scottish history,
exploring tales from medieval times and beyond. Witness the fiery art of
blacksmithing on site, where iron bends to the will of the skilled blacksmith.
Show off your own skills and imagination in the inaugural costume competition!
