Nice to see a Thread on this.....I dont think there is much that equates to Ren Faires across here in the UK, though there is considerable Re-enactment stuff, as many of you may be aware (as well as a fair bit of 'Living History' stuff as an offshoot to that)

I love looking at Ren Faire pics & costumes though, cos my big interest at the moment (& for the last 4 years) has been 'Live Action Role-Play'...in a Fantasy (yes, vaguely 'Tolkein-esque'....) setting thats pretty much late Medieval/early Renaissance.
