Armidale Easter Gathering

The Armidale Easter Gathering is a four day event run over Easter the even numbered years of out current calendar.

It is hosted by the New England Medieval Arts Society and is one of the highlights of the re-enactment calendar. It is regarded by most Dark Age re-enactment groups to the THE event of the calendar.

The event is generally closed to the public and held in a State run pine forest. It features the usual fare found at many events but differs in the addition of the purpose built longhouse (which functions as a tavern, feasting hall and sleeping area) and campsites in a setting that features less Australian flora on obvious show.

The event is not limited to Australian re-enactors.

It's timing conflicts with Rowany Festival.
