Dates and venues are announced individually for each Renaissance Faire UK gathering. Visit our What’s On page for the latest confirmed event information.

A Renaissance Faire is a lively outdoor festival that recreates the atmosphere of a historical period, typically the European Renaissance of the 14th to 17th centuries, through costumed performers, themed entertainment, and artisan crafts. Attendees can immerse themselves in a world of jousting knights, wandering minstrels, and bustling marketplaces, often enhanced by interactive activities like archery or dance. Events like Renaissance Faire UK: The Crossing of Worlds add a unique twist, Being based on an original fantasy setting inspired by and designed to educate people on the myths, folklore, and nature of England and Kent. Alongside imaginative elements, such as our immersive improv focused narrative event with audience participation, The Wedding of Prince Andal and Princess Syldari. And our Masked Ball featuring bands like Ravenhymn and Yara Liz to bridge historical charm with creative flair.

Yes! In fact we encourage it. The Crossing of Worlds is a multiversal event. All manner of beings have found their way there. And you will most likely feel much more immersed if you do come in costume, So be as creative as you want. You can also come as yourself if you wish.

Yes. You can bring your dogs. But we must insist that your dog be on a lead at all times and you immediately clean any mess they make. If you are spotted not cleaning up your dog’s mess you will be warned more than once. And then ejected from the venue without a refund if you ignore this warning multiple times. If you are camping then your dog must remain within the designated camping space we assign you when not on a lead. And must have their lead on in the camping area when outside your camping space.

We offer free carer passes that must be checked out with a valid ticket. In addition, we have plans to offer pathing for those with mobility difficulties, dyslexia friendly signage, plenty of seating, and a chill out tent for those with sensory difficulties.
