Victorian Medieval Faire 2022

This is a new event this year, and although December can be incredibly hot, I'm keen to go to this. It's a the bottom of Australia, and I live about half way up the coast, but it'll still be an overnight drive towing a trailer.

I have applied to have my new bath display out for the first time in the re-enactor's village, but it really depends on whether I get accepted along with my friend who is applying to have her Historical Medical display accepted. We can both do talks as well, but we will be traveling together, so it's all in or none.

Fingers crossed for me.

I really need to finish off the last bits and pieces for the display. I'd be taking my smaller octagonal medieval tent so it wouldn't be the full Bed-and-bathroom, it will be just the bath section. I'd very much love to have the linen roses curtains finished and I'd like to make a laver stand as well, which shouldn't be too hard, even with my basic woodworking skills.

The 12th century hair powder I'm experimenting making at the moment will be a great sensory addition too! I hope I can get a workable recipe before December. The watercress is still drying on my kitchen bench, so it won't be too long before I can have a go at that.

Fascinated by the idea of a Victorian Medieval Festival. Does this mean it's in the state of Victoria?

Yes! Funnily enough, there is a group of people reenacting the Victorian period who do the Victorian idea of reenactment with all its wrong historical assumptions (sounds hilarious) but this is just a regular reenactment and jousting event in the state of Victoria.
