Our Story

A theme park style English village, featuring beautiful landscaping, over forty unique buildings, and one of the largest "castles" in America. Join us for live entertainment, street theater, shopping, food, and drink. There is so much to see, we offer a low-cost season pass good for all seven days.

The dates for 2018 will remain the first three weekends in September including Labor Day


  • September 1st, 2nd & 3rd – Vikings & Shieldmaidens September 8th-9th: Kilts & Lucky Lasses September 15th-16th: Pirates & Wenches 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., rain or shine!
  • We are also excited to announce a major change in pricing for 2018, while technically the pricing will stay exactly the same as last year we are moving to a weekend pass model. Meaning, when you buy your ticket it is good for the ENTIRE weekend you purchased it for. So if you attend Labor Day weekend your $19 dollar wristband will get you through the gate for all three days, or for both days if you attend the second or third weekend. Season Passes passes are also available at a per weekend discount.
