The Balingup Medieval Carnivale is held in the magical town of Balingup over the 4th weekend of August. The carnivale has evolved from a half day event outside the town hall in 1996 to a weekend full of medieval colour and fun. The Balingup Medieval Carnivale is now the largest and oldest medieval carnivale in Western Australia.
Currently the committee is working together to bring the best that can be given in this climate of Covid regulations.
People come from far and wide to step back in time and experience everything medieval. It's very much a family affair with plenty to do whether you're young or old. The Burning of the Dragon on the Saturday night is not to be missed, driven on by the primal beat of the Drummers, the heartbeat of the carnivale.
 
As a 'Not-For-Profit' organisation the BMC fund the event mainly through gate takings and stall holder payments, and as the constitution states - any surpluses made will be used to benefit the Balingup community. The BMC committee is always advised after the November AGM.

Balingup Town Hall, 6pm until late.
 
WATCH THIS SPACE

We are working on bringing back the feast this year 
  if the King of these lands will allow it
It has long been part of the folklore of the carnivale that
we have an outrageously gluttonous feast the night
before the carnivale begins, involving storytellers,
acrobats, musicians and more. Join the High Court of
Balingup in grand merriment, an evening not to be
missed!

To have the most fun on the night we encourage you
to dress in medieval attire. Checkout our costume hire.
