The 2010 Tshwane Mediaeval Fayre

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Well it’s almost time to do it again. Those of you who were with us last year know how much fun the first one was – this one will be twice as big and three times as good. Plus it’s right before the 2010 football world cup so if you’re planning to be in Africa later in the year, this is something you shouldn’t miss.  We’ll be hosting the armoured tournament again this year with hopefully even more fighters than the 12 we had last year. We’ve rescued the burnt down amphitheater to a degree and will be hosting most of the fighting in there. At the back on the rugby field we’ll be having a jousting show and archery displays. There’s a paintball field at the fayre this year too, and the guys and gals from Mediaeval Adventures will be back so there’s plenty of interactive entertainment to keep everybody busy.

We’ve also allowed ourselves a lot more planning time this year, and have a years extra experience at this kind of thing so this year promises to be something not to be missed. Don’t miss it.

The 2009 Fayre

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Last years fayre, being the first, had quite a few hiccups and quite a steep learning curve for all of us involved. Although i think we can call it a success, there were a lot of things we could have done differently and better.

We did manage to provide all the entertainment we promised, the fighting knights in armor, the tent-pegging displays, the live stunt shows, the food and the beer tent were all there as promised. We did fire dancing and drumming, archery, and a whole lot more stuff.

Around 2,000 people came to the last one so let’s hope for a better turnout this year.
