St Ives Medieval Faire, returning in 2021

Alas dear friends, it is with great sadness that we announce the St Ives Medieval Faire will not go ahead this year. The health and safety of our loyal fans, re-enactors and stallholders is our priority, and with this nasty COVID business, we have decided it’s best we sit this year out. But do not despair! We will be back bigger and better than ever in 2021! Block out 18-19 September 2021 in your diaries!

PREPARE FOR GLORY

Each September, St Ives Showground is transformed into a world of grand tournaments, lavish food, and brave knights. We call on loyal subjects of all ages to visit and explore this captivating experience. Immerse yourself in the Medieval Village, savour traditional fare at the Tilt & Counter Tavern, stroll through the market stalls of authentic artisans, and witness knights vying for glory in grand tournaments. Whatever your fancy, you’ll find sights, sounds and experiences to delight, enchant and amaze at the St Ives Medieval Faire. DISCOVER MORE

“The authentic passion of the whole event was evident along with the humour. My boys had six hours of absolute immersion and fun and they’ve NEVER done a festival before. Congratulations! And I am so glad that my boys’ imaginations have been sparked by all of yours.”

Joust Team

Fantastic day out. It was an earthy, friendly and sometimes amusing experience! Excellently organised with high-quality acts and very friendly staff. Thought the jousting was THE BEST! The atmosphere was amazing. Worth every cent! It put the Sydney Easter Show to shame.”

"Amazing event - this is our fourth year. There is so much to do and see that we missed the jousting and trebuchet this year. It's both fun and very educational.”

“This was our first year at St Ives Medieval Faire and we loved it…The archery was a hit! The kids loved the pony rides as well. We were impressed with the enthusiasm and knowledge of the stallholders and it was great to see young people embracing history.”
