2027 Events Returning — Dates Still TBA
Some established Australian medieval events have confirmed that they intend to return in 2027 but have not yet published final public dates. These events are listed separately to avoid presenting estimated dates as confirmed.

The organiser has announced that the Medieval & Rare Trades Festival will return in 2027, with the final date still to be confirmed.
The event focuses on historical crafts, traditional trades, community activities and family-friendly medieval experiences.

Abbey Medieval Festival organisers are already preparing for the 2027 festival and have referenced upcoming 2027 stallholder applications. A final festival date had not been published when this guide was updated.

Location: Nurragingy Reserve, Doonside / Blacktown, Sydney, NSW
Blacktown City Medieval Fayre remains one of Sydney's major medieval-themed community events. At the time of publication, Blacktown City Council's public event page was still displaying the 2026 festival rather than a confirmed 2027 date.

Location: Hawkesbury Showground, Clarendon, NSW
Winterfest is one of Sydney's established medieval fairs. The official website was still displaying the July 2026 event when this guide was first published, so a 2027 date has not been listed here until officially announced.

York Medieval Fayre was held on 27 September in 2026. The Shire of York had not yet published a confirmed 2027 Medieval Fayre date when this guide was updated.
