THE Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology is celebrating after the Abbey Medieval Festival won Gold in the Festivals and Events category at the 2025 Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) Tourism Awards.
The award recognises the dedication of the Abbey team, volunteers, reenactment community, and sponsors who bring Australia’s largest medieval living history event to life each year.
Since returning in 2022 after COVID shutdowns, the Festival has grown its audiences, expanded accessibility initiatives, and strengthened community engagement across the Moreton Bay Region. The 2025 accolade marks a major milestone as the Festival looks forward to celebrating its 35th year in 2026.
