Balingup Medieval Carnivale
"A Medieval Affayre" and Tulip Festival

Held on the fourth weekend
of August each year

Saturday:      10.00 am until  5.00 pm
Sunday:         09.00 am until  4.00 pm

Where:   Balingup Woods
              (Balingup Community Centre Grounds)

The Medieval Affayre is full of great fun, colour and fabulous costumes. Medieval fighting groups draw a huge crowd every year and the street parade is the centrepiece of the event.

The event is held in the grounds of the Balingup Community Centre (Balingup Woods).  This is located on Brockman Street directly opposite the Balingup Blackwood River Tavern, and behind the Balingup Village Green. 

Both days are full of entertainment, and many of
our "wouldn’t miss it, come
every year" entertainers will
be there again. 

Tulips abound during the month of August, and provide a colourful backdrop for the fun filled Medieval Carnivale.   Medieval stall holders are also on hand to provide visitors with food, drink and a variety of irresistible merchandise.
