Join us Friday, APRIL 5TH!

BE IMMERSED IN 16TH-CENTURY EUROPE…..

The London Bridge Renaissance Faire invites all public, private, and homeschool educators and students to join us for our new annual School Day! This opportunity is Friday, April 5th,2024. Students step back in time as they enter the sights and sounds of a quaint village, and take in the exciting sights and sounds of the 16th century. Students will interact with costumed characters representing the courts, culture, art, science, and literature of the Renaissance Period. Jousting knights, musicians, jesters, and magicians perform on stages and arenas throughout the village. Students can join a quest with our interactive fair map stops, take in shows, and learn along the way.

Artisans in period dress illustrate the technological advances of the Renaissance age through live demonstrations in pottery, leather tooling, blacksmithing, armor making, and other arts and trades of this amazing period. Visit with Queen Mary of Scots and have a chance to be knighted by her Majesty, interact with pirates from Clan Darksail who will introduce you to the history of gunpowder, and set off a cannon or two. You may even challenge your fellow classmates or your teacher to a round of archery.
