So what is this Ren Faire thingummy? Is it a one period historical re-enactment thing (sounds like Tudor with all the Marys and Elizabeths -- a pox on the pair of them because their Grandpa killed King Richard...)? A multi-period event, like Kirby Hall over here where you get to see Ancient Britons drinking with Romans, and Civil War (English Civil War that is) sharing a beer with the WWII crowd. Or is it more a music thing with a lot of re-enactors about and plenty of stalls where you can top up on your next season's kit and clothing? Divulge more....
