NSW – St Ives Medieval Faire (What’s On Only)

For the third year Sydney’s St Ives Showground will be hay-strewn and hand-forged into an accurate recreation of Medieval Europe. Covering cultures and customs from the Dark Ages to the High Middle Ages, your ticket will give you the unmatched experience of authentic medieval events, shows and atmosphere (all 100% Plague-free!).
Feel the soft fletch of an arrow graze your cheek as you let loose your bowstring. Surge and jeer with the crowd at the jousting tournament, where the thunder of hooves and the crunch of armour sees your champion victorious. Bargain with peddlers of skill and beauty to build your inventory of weapons, armour and jewellery. Later, tear at joints of meat in a grand feasting hall while jesters and musicians play for your favour in the firelight.
This two-day festival offers a glimpse into an amazing pocket of time now lost to history. It lives on in the passion of our artisan crafters, our re-enacters, our organisers, and you. Read more here www.stivesmedievalfaire.com.au

VICTORIA – Melbourne Fringe Festival

TALES TOLD AND TRUE is part of Melbourne’s Fringe Festival.

Our lives are full of stories: being late for school; making a new friend; the day that dog followed us home... We store these events in our minds and together they make a giant tome of tales! What if you shared just one?

We invite kids - big and small - to join us in this adventure packed interactive theatre. True stories will be shared by the audience and transformed live on stage by skilled actors and musicians. No script, no rehearsal, no two shows are ever the same. 

Fun, funny and insightful theatre, this show is a fantastical travelling trip where we deep dive into your very own life. Tell us about the true big things and the true little things that make up your world and together we will bring them to life on stage.
Proudly presented by Melbourne Playback Theatre Company at the Fringe Hub: Arts House - Rehearsal Room
