Journey back in time at the Abbey Medieval Festival 2025, Australia’s premier celebration of medieval history and re-enactment!
Taking place from 12–13 July at Abbeystowe, Caboolture, this immersive event offers an unforgettable weekend of action, adventure, and authentic medieval magic.
Witness the thrill of full-contact jousting at the Moreton Bay Medieval Joust Championship, be captivated by Birds of Prey demonstrations, and explore living history encampments that bring the Middle Ages to life.
Enjoy live combat displays, traditional music and dance, animals and horsemanship, delicious medieval food, and unique handcrafted treasures at the bustling marketplace.
Start the festivities early with Friday Family Fun Day on 11th July—a specially curated, sensory-friendly day designed for families and guests who prefer a more relaxed experience.
With smaller crowds, adjusted entertainment, and support from Early Start Australia’s sensory tent, Friday is perfect for young adventurers and those with sensory sensitivities. Join in on the treasure hunt ‘pilgrimage’ across the site to unlock a reward, exclusive to Friday guests.
Whether you're a history buff or just looking for an extraordinary day out, the Abbey Medieval Festival offers something for everyone. Don your finest medieval attire and step into a world of knights, nobles, and unforgettable memories!
If you’re craving even more action from armoured knights in combat or miss out on tickets to the Festival, come along to the Abbeystowe Challenger Clash Buhurt International, 7-8 June.
