Step into the world of medieval and Renaissance culture at Hammond Castle Museum, where the castle itself provides a uniquely dramatic backdrop for a magical day steeped in history and fantasy in a stunning setting.
Experience the excitement of The Brotherhood of the Arrow and Sword as they return with their high-energy armored combat demonstrations, bringing the medieval battlefield vividly to life. Enjoy captivating performances from the L.I.A.R.s, who will fill the air with sea shanties, alongside a hulahoop artist, a storyteller, a wandering harpist, a bubble faery, and other enchanting entertainers. New this season, our kids’ tent offers little princes and princesses a craft for hands-on fun. With more vendors and food trucks than before, this year’s Faire is bigger, better, and more magical.
We are thrilled to host James B. Jones and Shelley Wolfe of Netflix’s Emmy Award-winning Love on the Spectrum (LOTS) will be joining us as our Honorary King and Queen! (You may remember that James was featured on a date at the Museum in Season Two, Episode 5 of LOTS! You can read more about that date here!) James and Shelley will be strolling the Museum grounds in full Renaissance spirit, and guests will have the opportunity to meet them and take photos with them from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm.
