About us
Ye Olde Medieval Fair Folk is a gathering place for anyone who looks forward to fair season all year long and wants to share that excitement with kindred spirits. Whether you spend months perfecting a costume, collect hand-forged trinkets, or simply love the smell of roasted almonds drifting past the jousting field, you will find plenty of company here. We welcome total newcomers and lifelong faire-goers alike, with no pressure to dress up or know the difference between a bodice and a corset.
Our meetups are casual and conversation-driven. Sometimes we get together over coffee or a pint to trade stories from past fairs, compare notes on the best turkey legs, and plan which weekends to set aside for the season ahead. Other times we organize group outings so members have friendly faces to wander the lanes with, whether that means catching a falconry show, cheering on the knights, or browsing the artisan stalls together. We also host occasional hands-on evenings where people can try simple crafts like braiding a belt or learning a few period dances.
The aim is simple: good company, shared enthusiasm, and more fun at the fair than you would have on your own. Join us if you have ever wished the fair lasted a little longer.
