Perhaps one of the most evocative and memorable events of
the Festival calendar. In a brief (30 minutes) ceremony in
the candle-lit Abbey Church, a squire is raised to the order
of knighthood. The ceremony is based on a 14th
century knighting from Italy. Members of the Order of
Lion Rampant attend in magnificent costumes, and the
medieval stained glass (the oldest is Australia) forms a
fitting backdrop.
When:
Friday, 11 July, at 6.30 pm.
Where:
Abbey Church (parking available outside the Museum).
Cost:
Free.
