This festival, traditionally known as a Renaissance Faire, brings together fun, food, and entertainment with a medieval flair. It is a day for everyone: kids, teens, and adults alike. Dressing up in period costumes is not required, but will heightened the experience for everyone, including yourself.
The theme will be Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest. Many characters from the legend, including Robin and his band of Merry Men, will make appearances in the woods around the faire along with a varied assortment of entertainers, craftspeople, and other vendors from across New England. There is also jousting, eagles and falcons, knife throwing, archery demonstrations and contests, various food vendors selling contemporary and period-authentic foods, as well as artisan crafts and medieval merchandise.
Be transported through time
So travel back in time with us to the early 13th Century! The Mutton and Mead Tavern will be holding their annual summer festival, and collecting food for the poor. The shire folk are worried the Sheriff of Nottingham will come and exact tax payment on the collected food, but are confident that Robin Hood will swoop in and save the day!
