ROVING minstrels, jousting knights, market stalls and lots of hearty tucker kept the 3000 or so visitors to Camelot Castle at Yellingbo in high spirits on Sunday.
The annual Medieval Village Fair was a huge success, bringing local and visiting families and community groups.
The event is auspiced by WHYLD and run by Yellingbo CFA, Camelot Castle and Woori Community House to give local families an affordable day out in spring.
The Punch & Judy show was a huge success again this year along with the free games organised by the Hoddles Creek CFA Junior volunteers.
Event spokesperson Sonja Mazar from Woori Community House said the fair was about giving back to the community and promoting community spirit and networking.
“It is great to see this event so well supported by local people and organisations,” she said.
Ms Mazar said the financial support for the event by the Woori Yallock Community (Bendigo) Bank was a great example of that support.
“They really have put back into the community to enable us to put on a low-cost family day and without their support it wouldn’t happen.
She said Yarra Valley FM radio station was another great supporter.
Donations made on the day will assist Yellingbo CFA.
