Knights clashing with flaming swords, snow queens and winter magic - Knights of Fire returns to Kyral Castle during the July school holidays.
This icy spectacular is part of the annual Ballarat Winter Festival and offers an epic program of winter wonders and medieval action. Cosy up with a mulled wine or a hot chocolate made by our braziers and watch knights battle with fiery swords, or join them in training with an axe, sword or bow. Experience the thrill of live jousting as knights clash in action-packed battles, watch live performances at the Jester's Theatre, transform into your favourite character at the face painting station, or brew magical potions. You may even meet some magical princesses, wizards and regal royalty while exploring the Castle grounds.
Looking for somewhere to stay while you are in the area? Turn your visit into a medieval sleepover at Kryal Castle. There are plenty of accommodation options including castle rooms, cabins, tiny homes, and campsites.
Visit the Kryal Castle website to secure your spot and plan your winter school holidays.
