The Rowany Festival (sometimes called just "Festival") is Australia's largest SCA event. In 2008 it changed location to the Glenworth Valley Horse Riding centre, just north of Sydney. Anything that people do in the SCA (well, most things) will be on display in some form or other at Rowany Festival.
Festival happens every Easter long weekend - don't miss it for the world.

Religious observance
If religious reasons are inclined to slow down your attendance at an event over Easter, don't forget that a group of Christians generally get together in a discreet place to hold a scheduled Easter Sunday mass. And if Pesach falls at the same time of year, I'm sure there will be people cooking in accordance with customs - it's actually easier to avoid leavening agents in period cooking.
(Just so people are aware -- very occasionally, when Pesach does fall during Easter, a seder is held at the festival site. Contact Del if you want to be included in this).
