About Fantasy Medieval Fair 2025
The Fantasy Medieval Fair in the scenic town of Mount Gambier invites guests to a two-day celebration of all things medieval and mythical. Set against Mount Gambier’s volcanic landscape, this event draws locals and travelers alike for a journey back in time to the age of knights, wizards, and fantastical creatures.
Across both days, visitors can browse a bustling medieval marketplace where local and national artisans offer unique wares, from handcrafted swords and armor to enchanting jewelry, cloaks, and mystical trinkets. Many artisans work onsite, demonstrating traditional crafts like blacksmithing and leatherworking, allowing attendees to see each piece’s craftsmanship and history.
The fairgrounds are alive with the sounds of harpists and minstrels, creating a magical atmosphere, while family-friendly puppetry shows entertain audiences with traditional folklore. An interactive area element adds even more excitement, offering hands-on activities for all ages. Here, visitors can try their hand at longbow archery under the guidance of skilled instructors or dive into the world of tabletop gaming with “Come and Try Dungeons & Dragons” sessions. Game masters lead players on mini-adventures, adding a touch of modern fantasy to the traditional fairground experience.
In the main arena, armoured knights put on thrilling jousting matches, charging at one another on horseback to cheers from the crowd. Adjacent to this spectacle, armored combat tournaments see skilled warriors clashing with swords and shields, bringing medieval combat to life and offering an action-packed display of strength and bravery.
To unwind, fairgoers can stop by the medieval tavern, where they’ll find refreshing ales and meads. This cozy spot offers a place to relax, enjoy a drink, and chat with fellow attendees, adding a true medieval village atmosphere to the experience.
