Bristol Renaissance Faire 2023

Every Faire day recreates a time when knights were noble, maids were merry and turkey legs were titanic. Once you enter the portal gates, you travel back in time and walk right into an exciting village festival day. And what are we celebrating? Queen Elizabeth, Herself, is visiting! It’s time to eat, drink and be merry! Revelry is the order of the day!

For 9 glorious weekends, visitors take a rollicking romp through Elizabethan England, complete with 16th Century games, rides, arts, crafts, food, music, and one-of-a-kind encounters with a spectacular cast of characters. The Faire boasts a beautiful 30-acre site with open-air stages featuring Swordfighters, Minstrels, and Jesters. Meet Queen Elizabeth, in person! All entertainment is included in the price of admission.

Nearly 200 artisans display their wares in the Faire Marketplace. Potters, glass blowers, jewelers, and forgers busily go about their work, as shoppers discover rare finds around every corner. Offerings range from sterling silver jewelry, hand-thrown pottery, and fine-crafted leather works to hickory walking sticks, rich tapestries to hammered pewter.
