King Richard’s Faire, THE New England Renaissance Festival, is the premiere fall entertainment event with fun for all ages!

Entertainment, exciting rides, and challenging games abound on the Faire’s enchanting 80-acre wooded site.  Be enthralled by our minstrels, acrobats, fire eaters, aerialists, and larger-than-life-size puppets. Hundreds of talented performers entertain our patrons simultaneously on eight vibrant stages and in the lanes. The King’s daring knights battle on horseback thrice daily in jousting tournaments and bawdy beggars compete in mud. 

Satiate thy palate with giant spit-roasted turkey legs, ringlets of fryes, and boules of chowder or stew. Don’t forget to quench thy thirst with signature cocktails, champagne, wine, mead, and brew.

Talented artisans journey from around the globe to display unique treasures, fabulous jewelry and handcrafted wares. Delight in period leather, armor, and footwear. Discover beautiful face and body painting along with amazing artisans who craft swords, ceramics, and much more before thine eyes. Revel in scented oils, fantasy creatures, perfumes, henna tattoos, and even psychic and tarot readings.

King Richard’s Faire is the largest, biggest, and best Renaissance festival in the six states of New England. Visit us to escape your reality and be prepared to make memories that will last a lifetime in our world of magic and merriment!
