W...e are currently seeking clarification and also projections on this. An announcement will be made via our social medieval media page in around 1-2 weeks about the results of this progress and any changes or directives that are required. Obviously we are still in some level of uncertainty surrounding this, but once that clarification has been sought we will advise all stallholders via email, reenactors and all patrons via our official channels.

14.01.2022 EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT It is with a heavy heart that we must postpone the 2020 Barossa Medieval Fair. We had hoped that restrictions on major events and large... scale gatherings would have been eased enough to allow us to plan and consider the event in full. Unfortunately whilst restrictions are being eased we have been notified that large scale events and gatherings that fit our event description are still an unknown and have been placed on a future consideration list after step 3 has been enacted. Consequently as it takes considerable time to plan, organise and run this event. We could not risk commencing planning for this event in under 3 months whilst still not having any certainty for interstate involvement as well as being able to hold the event on any scale. We know to some this will come as disappointing and we always strive to run an event that is safe for all patrons, reenactment groups and stalls. However in the current climate we do not wish to rush back into running at full capacity, nor cause a newer outbreak that could risk the safety of anyone involved with the event. We could also not take the risk of a significant financial hit to the event based on social distancing or any number of limits imposed health and safety wise. This would be unfair on our traders and stallholders as well as participants of the event as it would effect and raise costs for all involved. Once more clarification has emerged regarding larger events we will advise as to our intention for the fair for 2020. At present there is no timeline for stage 3 or beyond and that uncertainty is something that a larger event can not risk. Stallholders, stakeholders and reenactors will he contacted via email and message regarding this later today. If you wish to show your support for the fair, please consider purchasing one of our NEW* Barossa Medieval Fair shirts. By sending us a message A GLIMPSE OF HOPE FOR OUR FEAST!!! We are currently looking at the logistics of running a Barossa Medieval Feast for 2020 that will comply with safety guidelines and still be 100% medieval fair and atmosphere related. It would obviously have capped numbers and be a dining and entertainment evening. (More details to come)

08.01.2022 With reinforcement levies raised Ironclad again laid siege to New Varangian Guard - Magnauras fortress. After a hard fought battle, Ironclad was able to recover our prized banner! Honour is satisfied from our side, let’s see if NVG let the grudge die...

07.01.2022 A while ago Ironclad was given the opportunity to be involved in shooting a commercial for metal detectors! Many, many hours of work and rework in full armour is incredibly tiring, but I hope you’ll agree that Sir Benjamin Le Batard Westcott and Sir Richard Longreach Holding look amazing! https://youtu.be/SUxAxkRJdHA

07.01.2022 Get your Medieval Fix this weekend from home by checking out the virtual medieval gathering! For South Australians, this is made up of mostly interstate groups, so could be a lot of content you’ve not seen before!

05.01.2022 It sucks to lose an event as big as this, but could you imagine having a medieval national jousting tournament in its place? If that sounds good to you, make some noise in the advertisers comment section! https://www.facebook.com/South-Australian-Jousting-Competition-120743419719361/

04.01.2022 Not as cold a morning this morning as the rest of this week. So why not celebrate with some Sunday morning swords! Lesson 2 starts at 9am!

01.01.2022 Another excellent and toasty warm year at the Harcourts Smith - Semaphore street fair! If we had a dollar for every time we get asked, is it hot in there?, armour would be a lot easier to fund ;)

01.01.2022 CAN YOU BEAT THIS CHALLENGE? The guys and girls from Ironclad Academy of the Sword Inc. have an axe holding competition. Can you beat the axe.
