Ancient Arts Fellowship

Ancient Arts Fellowship Medieval and Dark Age Reenactment in Canberra Our members fight safely using period techniques and reproduction armour and weapons.

The Ancient Arts Fellowship is a Dark Ages re-enactment group based in Canberra which provides historical and educational displays. The Fellowship has been providing quality entertainment and education to Canberra since the club's founding way back in 1986. We create costume, jewellery, armour and accessories according to documented period styles. We shoot traditional bows and feast on food that W

illiam the Conquerer would have eaten. The club focuses on Northern Europe and Britain in the 8th - 10th century, starting with the first Viking raids around AD790, and ending with the Norman invasion and the Battle of Hastings in AD1066. However, our members also like to branch out into other locations and other periods.

Did you see us at the Old Bus Depot Markets today?

Did you think to yourself, "wow, those people in authentic medieval costume, demonstrating handicrafts, combat, and camp life are all very clever and attractive, I wish I could get involved in all their various activities?"

Well, good news! You *can* get involved in our various activities! Yes, *you!*

Step one: follow this page.

Step two: check our pinned posts or most recent status updates for details of our weekly fighters' training and craft meets.

Step three: come along and meet the AAF and try out medieval reenactment! We are open to all ages, genders and identities. You don't have to have any previous experience in reenactment. You just need an interest in history (being a little mad doesn't hurt either).

Feel free to DM us with any questions.
