Medieval Festival @ Balingup

Time for a bit of fun & head to Balingup for the Medieval festival which runs over the weekend. The towns folk really did a great job turning the town into a medieval fayr. $10 each into the festival, stalls selling clothes, helmets, chain mail vests, swords, etc etc. Choirs on centre stage singing old traditional songs from the dark ages. Everyone really got into the spirit of the festival & dressed with great flair, from Kings & Queens, to ladies of the court, soldiers, crusaders, Friar tucks & the list goes on. FANTASTIC ATMOSPHERE
