Have you ever wanted to learn to swing a sword? Make armour? Have you wondered what life was like in the dark ages? What people ate? What they wore? Then the Ancient Arts Fellowship is the club for you! We are a medieval reenactment group based in Canberra,
Australia. We specialise in the re-creation of dark ages European society
and combat. We aim to promote greater understanding of history, and to
this end, give displays of medieval life and combat to schools, fetes,
and the like. |

We also hold two or three dark age feasts each year, and support
other medieval groups in their activities. We publish a semi-regular magazine
called The Troubadour, and we're able to provide information useful to students,
other medieval groups, and all those interested in history.

One of the main attractions of the club for many new members is our medieval combat. We train our fighting members to fight safely using swords, axes, spears, and a variety of other medieval weapons. But fighting is not all there is to the club. We hold regular craft workshops where we make (and repair) armour and weapons, try dark ages recipes, sew costume, and re-create real dark ages objects such as furniture, ornaments and household items. If all this sounds like fun to you, then please contact
us. If there's something else related to the dark ages you'd like
to try, or something you already do, we'd love to hear from you. We're
open to people of all ages and from all walks of life. |
