Medieval Combat Tournament Free Family Fun at Alexandra Park

If your kids are going through a “knights and castles” phase (or you’ve got a history lover in the family), this one is a little out of the ordinary in the best way. A Medieval Combat Tournament Public Show is coming to Alexandra Park in Bundaberg, offering a chance to watch armoured fighters go head-to-head in a real, full-contact tournament setting. It’s outdoors, it’s hands-on, and it’s the kind of event that gives families something new to talk about on the drive home.

The event is on Saturday 14 March 2026 at Alexandra Park Bundaberg and is listed as a free public show. The organisers describe it as their second free-to-public full contact medieval tournament, featuring six rounds of heavy combat with a theme representing “the colours of the maidens honour”. The listing notes the park location is opposite 74 Quay Street. While the event runs from 12pm to 2pm, it may be worth arriving early and checking the latest updates on the event page on the day for the latest schedule.

After the tournament, there’s an opportunity for post-tourney interaction with the public, and the organisers also mention a kids’ introduction to sword play. For families, that mix — watching the action, then getting closer to learn a bit about the gear and techniques — can be a real highlight. The club will also be selling cold drinks and water during the event, which is handy for a warm March afternoon.

We're so pleased to see events like this in Bundaberg.  Creating a fun, low-pressure way for kids to engage with history, storytelling and performance and to see local hobby groups doing something they genuinely love. It’s also a nice example of community-run entertainment that doesn’t rely on big venues or big budgets: just people, passion, and a public park.
