my very first cosplay was arlecchino. that was a terrible choice.

Thank you so much in this because I now know that I shouldn't just say hi ways everyone every time I'm at a convention

were you at pop-cultured Lowell con? because i was in the cosplay contest and i think i recognize you.

For me its the best feeling when someone asks for a photo of my costume!

Not me believing this was your natural hair until the wig dance hahahah. Thanks for these tips!

I was told years ago, (from my Optometrist) that contact lenses for me was a no go due to the way my eyes are. While I wish I didn't have to wear glasses, and that my vision was better than it is, I'm not going to put my eye health at risk. I'm happy to wear my glasses when I cosplay anyway. 🙂👍🏻

You are not match with shinobu cosplay

Why did you order if you don't like

i hop you be cancalled.

you are bullying other is not cool. eww

I recently went to the king Richards faire, it was very fun

Hi! I wanna buy a wig but I don’t wanna buy fast fashion! Help!

my favorite characters is Muichiro and Giyu i also love Mitsuri tho!

The NHRF has both jousts and armored combat! 😊 The Brotherhood of the Arrow and Sword are excellent at teaching about historical combat, as well as other historical activities such as sewing, weaving, cooking, etc. 😁

I have that costume

We’re sorry @chellebellecosplay that you missed our full Armored combat shows and our full encampment at both the New Hampshire Ren Faire and at the Maine Ren Faire. We have been at NHRF since 2014 and at MERF since 2018. We are also at both Vermont Winter and Vermont summer ren faires. Also additionally, NHRF won 2nd place in the northeast for the 2024 national Renaissance Festival awards. Maryland ren can in 1st. We, the Brotherhood of the Arrow and Sword, came in 2nd place ourselves in the large physical act category for this year’s awards as well. You can also check out some of our videos from these faires on our page here on KZbin. If you do come back to NHRF we invite you to come see our shows.

I think you’re supposed to put the boot covers on your sneakers, but I’m not sure❤

We are also currently not supplying the CT Renfaire or Robinhood with Mead so you may have to update with their new selection.

LOL! I'm a 61 year old degenerate that goes to Renaissance Fairs to dress up and drink 😂😂😂

Wow these are truly magically cursed stories.

You should go to the Massachusetts Renaissance Faire in Cummington, MA. Also the Capitol District NY Renaissance Faire as well.

Thank you for the shout out for Timberfire pizza! We're so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰

Updates/edits/corrections! Thank you to my fellow rennies for the info <3 I'll continue updating this comment as I learn more! -The Brotherhood of the Arrow and Sword have encampments and armored combats shows at both New Hampshire and Maine -New Hampshire typically DOES have a joust! It didn’t happen in 2024 due to the loss of a horse :( -As of the 2024 season, KRF accepts credit cards at some food locations -Maine has purchased land for a permanent faire ground and will be moving locations some time in the future

KRF now accepts plastic at the food windows! It just started.

NHRF does have a joust! Unfortunately this past year they were unable to perform due to a loss, but they typically do have jousting. They also have the Brotherhood of Arrow and Sword, who do fighting reenactment, so knights in armour wailing on each other.

I'm in KOG and thank you for the shout out. Thank you for your kind words about the crown players they are all lovely people. Everyone works super hard to make CTRF and Robin's Hood special for you and I'm glad you feel we are nailing it.

As of 2 weeks ago you can now pay for food and drinks by card or with the tickets

I'd recommend trying NYCDRF and VTRF.

I have gone to the CTRF every year for several years now and have seen it grown throughout the years. It also has something that most ren faires don't have. They don't just accept dogs coming to the faire. As long as it is a leashed pet and can show their needed shots they can come in, so I have been bringing my 3 (yes, I said 3) ferrets to the faire with me. They have a wonderful time and so many people want to pet them. (If a faire says it accepts pets, they usually only accept dogs.) And I have 2 friends of mine who are in mobility scooters who I meet up at the faire. As long as it hasn't rained the week before they go, they have no problem seeing every single vendor. I also have a food allergy (corn) and am able to bring in snacks I can have.

Stop by the Knights (of Gore) encampment in the midlands at CTRF, we would love to meet you…. A big thanks from a big fan, Sir Ronan, General Manager of KoG

Thanks for the shout out!!! Obsessed with this! ❤

Yesss the Crown Player actors are the best! Also my cat does play fetch and when he meowed in your video I thought it was my boy 😂

This is a beautiful description of the faire. I'm a sign language interpreter and have been to all of these.

You can bring food into CTRF as well. Just no outside alcohol. I loved KRF in the early 90s, but it went downhill so fast after they changed ownership. I used to vend at CTRF and surrounding festivals and they put so much heart into the fair. I know they've been looking for a hard site.

Good video overall but a couple of points for clarification. NHRF does actually have a joust. They didn’t in 2024 due to a horse death unfortunately. NHRF and CTRF both also have actors doing a storyline as well and they circulate around the Faire interacting with patrons throughout the day. NHRF is trying to fix the super long food lines issue and will have several more food vendors in 2025. You should definitely check out VTRF and the winter Faire in VT too.

while i searched for a review for another brand - I normally buy Map of Beauty and I love these wigs. Yes, they are a bit thin, but that is like - the only bad thing for that price. And I love it (even while it was hard to find a good blue wig for my daughters Jester Cosplay.... because some coloours are rare)

In the future you might also think about: Midsummer Fantasy Faire in Astonia, CT -- I've been a few times and it was fun Wynonshire Renaissance Faire in Winchendon, MA -- I haven't been, but it appears to be run by the same people as the Enchanted Orchid (but note it is a community park) There are 2 faires in Essex Junction VT (northern VT), one indoors in the winter, and a summer faire run by the same folk. I haven't been to either.

Great job on the review. Very honest and personally think it is very fair ratings overall. Putting bathrooms at the top of your list, brilliant. Only thing that was missing, and to be honest it’s not missed by most would be merchants. Variety and quantity would have been a nice add, but overall great job. You gained a follower today

Great video, very helpful!! We’ve been to TX and KS which are amazing and enormous, but NY was our favorite. It’s ruined KRF for life. 😆 Next year, you should make a trip to the NY Renaissance Faire. Take a weekend because you cant do everything in a day. It’s amazing and huge, it will blow your mind! 🤩❤️

What a delightful video! I'm the actor who plays Little John, and it's so meaningful that you had such a positive experience! I'm really really glad our silly goofing off made an impression ❤️❤️ The actor who played Tuck was just so funny and I'm glad they got shouted out too

I'm Maid Marian! We loved playing with your group and this was sent to all of us in cast! We hope we get to see you again!

I believe Maine is breaking ground on a hard site, so maybe check back in the future :)

I've seen groupons for KRF where you can get in for half price, but they're super specific weekends, and I think they're already over for this year. Something to keep in mind for the future but doesn't help with the food prices so 🤷🏻‍♀

You seriously just saved me years of research. Thank you!

You’re right about the long food lines at The NH ren fair, I was in a half hour line for a burger and fries this year, I was worried that my friends would’ve already eaten by the time I got my food, but all their lines were also that long

love this break down!!!! another factor I personally throw in (and this one is WAY harder to actually know enough to rank so like.... no judgement on not having it) is how a faire treats it's preformers, staff, and volunteers. NHRF 5/5 part of the volunteer job was checking in if vendors needed like... bathroom break or snacks, and watching their booth so they could go pee! KRF -10/5 the vibes are just rotten and they're bleeding preformers like nobody's business

bathroom ranking has saved my disabled ass thank u

Big fan of sitting in Ren fair garb at home 😂 I was just talking to my friend about these fairs, I've gotta send them this video!

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the wait time for food at KRF. It’s ridiculously long. Also most booths sell 1-2 items max. So say your friend wants a burger and you want a wrap, you both have to separate and wait 30 min - 1 hour for food then AGAIN for alcohol. It is the most inefficient dining experience ever.
