Steel clashing, markets buzzing, food smelling amazing… this is my Roman Empire

Finally, an event where yelling ‘For glory!’ in public is socially acceptable.

Selling my wares at the Southern Realm Festival is a blast! Between the clashing swords, epic armour, and happy festival-goers, it’s like medieval Christmas every time. Can’t wait to do it again!

The Living Village is my favourite part—sharing medieval crafts and daily life with festival visitors is such a rewarding experience. Seeing people light up when they realise how history comes alive is why I love being a re-enactor.

There’s nothing like the roar of the crowd as steel meets steel! Fighting at the Southern Realm Festival is pure adrenaline—every clash, every duel makes you feel like a true knight of legend
