The Reddit Renaissance Festival FAQ

For anyone interested, this event happens once a year during a Bank Holliday weekend in East Sussex, England.

I've been to Tewkesbury medieval festival and I have to say that I had a better time there as it was much more focused on the medieval aspect than fantasy. But, I still had a good time at England's medieval festival. I'd say that it is more aimed towards people who enjoy the fairytale aspect of medieval fantasy and It also seems like a great place for family with kids.

I wanted to go to Ohio, it was not to be. Consoled myself with a trip to Wildwood Faire, held at Equus Run Vineyards. I did not have a cloak, and didn't see that there would be a vendor there with one, so the garb more suited for KY in the summer stayed in the tote.

Still a nice afternoon, I ran into some of my favorite characters from KHRF, and got some goodies from the vendors, including a necklace that flips and I can't keep from spinning it. Also, look at the princess puppy!

This weekend was Myth and Monsters at the Ohio Renaissance Festival, and I had some really cool visitors stop by the shop! I got some great pictures, so I wanted to share them with everyone. All the pictures in this post fit the theme of the weekend.

Next week, I’m planning to take pictures of the general Faire so everyone can see more of what goes on around here.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

I had so much fun turning this adorable Orc mama and her little warrior into a fantasy illustration!

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Did a road trip from the Northeast down to the PA Renaissance Faire and then west to Ohio's for back-to-back shenanigans.

Beautiful weather. Awesome people. Fantastic pubs and music. And Knight Fights at ORF was wild!!!

New snat dropped at Ravenwood Rennfaire. Just wanted to show off the orange angel baby who's never done anything wrong in his life ever.

May I present Pickle Dagger? As a bonus, vaguely threatening and much easier to eat while watching the joust.

I made everything except for the boots, pants, bag, and shirt. The bracers were the most amount of work, but the tooling and painting were the most time consuming parts. And my Mjolnirrow held up the whole day for a hasty application and second attempt at this look!

One of my favorite parts of every fall ♥️

Edit: I'm referencing to my bad experience last year getting my 3d printed hilt taken away:

I don't know if there are rules around art in this subreddit but lately I've been drawing and painting several larpers/reenactors

Hope you guys enjoy it, more to come from the wonderful people on this sub !

Huzzah!!!

Sunday was the last day of this season's Festival, and after umpteen years of attending, it finally dawned on me that I can use the shields on the palisade wall to help me find my car. What can I say? I'm an unwashed peasant.

We went to Florence AL renaissance faire this weekend, it was so much fun

Finally made it out to Minnesota Ren Faire and wow, that one absolutely blew my socks off. Had an amazing time, prices were great. Will totally be back! Garb Tax

Big thanks to everyone who encouraged my craziness on a previous post. 🙏🏻

I attended my first ever RenFaire this weekend and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! 🤩

I will most certainly be back to another one (or two or more!) in the future.

My favorite parts were the Celtic Music bands (shout out to Craic and Reeling Rogues) and all of the lovely people dressed up in a glorious variety of costumes and colors and textures and themes… I just walked around for hours and gawked at all of your creativity like a I was freaking tourist.

If you see me at a Faire in the future, come say hi! I love meeting new friends.

🤔 QUESTION: how many different Faire outfits do you have? Or do you just rock the one over and over again? Genuinely curious what different people do….
