Not familiar with the Faire? Well here's some more information for you!
Entertainment, exciting
rides and skilled games
abound on the enchanting 80-acre site of King Richard’s Faire. Hundreds
of talented entertainers perform non-stop throughout the day. Visit any
of the eight vibrant stages and be enthralled by acrobats, aerialists,
jugglers, minstrels, dancers, fire eaters, puppeteers and exotic tigers.
Witness the rare liger, beautiful white lion and cute tiger cubs. You’ll gasp as the King’s mounted knights battle on horseback, and laugh
as bawdy beggars compete in mud. Strolling performers will engage you
all day long as you frolic in our forest and try your skill at the
Gaming Glen. Epicurean pleasures will tantalize your taste buds with the Faire’s unbelievable choices of truly scrumptious treats.
Satiate your palate with spit-roasted giant turkey legs, boules of chowder and stew, ringlets of fryes, champagne, wine and brew! Discover over 100
talented artisans
who journey from all over the country to display and hawk their
magnificent wares. You will be delighted and intrigued by the fantastic
glass blowing, portrait painting, hand-spun pottery, sword making,
fabulous jewelry, leather and armor, period clothing, moccasins,
perfumes and scented oils, face painting, and psychic readings.
They
also have lots of great contests to enter as well such as these great kid
