Back in Baldrick's day

Select your biggest turnip, dress the kids in their most ragged clothes and drive to Stratford in Taranaki for Baldrick's Big Day Out on Saturday February 28.

This entertaining day is a celebration of all things medieval, and features jousters, stilt-walkers, jugglers, buskers and a market day.

There's a turnip-throwing competition and the crowning of the Queen of Baldrick's Big Day Out, plus competitions for the best Baldrick and scruffiest urchin.

Gates open at 10am and a band entertains from 10.30am-2pm. At King Edward Park, Stratford.
