WINTERFEST RETURNED! UPDATE

WINTERFEST Returned!  Update: It was amazing to be back at this festival after the flood out in 2022.  The weather this year was sunny and the showground was packed with happy peeps many in fantastic medieval and fantasy costumes. Here's some pix from our stall.

We re-met the crew from Epic Armoury and made new friends like Linda from Charmed Embroidery who we look forward to working with for some super special designs.

Highlight was having a Roman Legion come and give a full salute to their Queen Nicole at our stall - Nicole is our number one helper at every festival we go to.

It was hard to get photos when I was busy lacing corsets and fitting men's jackets all day but these pix kindly shared will hopefully give an idea of the atmosphere and general fun going on. 

Thank you to everyone who came along, so great to see many familiar faces from the days in the Newtown shoppe!

Want to see us in the physical world?  The next medieval festival we'll be at is the new Queanbeyan Medieval Fair on 23 + 24 September.
