Last weekend, my sister and I stepped into another world — our very first Renaissance Faire. Neither of us had been to an event like this before, but we went all in, donning rogue-inspired outfits that let us play with a bit of mischief and mystery.
From the moment we arrived, there was a buzz in the air. Traders lined the grounds with stalls full of treasures — handcrafted wares, curiosities, and plenty of things to tempt any would-be rogue. We wandered, browsed, and chatted, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the banter.
Of course, we couldn’t resist trying our hands at archery. Bows in hand, we gave it a go — with mixed results, but plenty of laughter. Between the activities, the conversations, and the chance encounters, the day unfolded in the best way possible: a little chaotic, full of energy, and threaded with good humour.
The food was another highlight — hearty, satisfying, and exactly what you’d hope to find at a faire like this.
This was the very first event organised by the team behind Renaissance Faire UK
. As with all new ventures, there are things that could be improved, but that’s part of the journey. For a starting point, it was a fantastic event, and one that left us already looking forward to what they’ll do next.
Sometimes, it’s not just about stepping into the past, but about building something new — and we’re glad we got to be part of the beginning.
