Thier Royal Majesties regret to inform the Realm of the decision not to visit the Canterbury Renaissance Festival for the 2024 season.
This decision has not come lightly and weighs heavily on our hearts, as we know it has been a while since we have seen all of your beautiful faces.
Thank you for your continued support as we navigate through these decisions.

I’m so sorry to say Canterbury Renaissance Festival will be canceled for Faire season 2022.

Due to the economic down turn everyone is experiencing, a lack of participation this year has befallen us. Canterbury Faire will be closed for season 2022. We send our blessings to all our Faire family and friends. It will be a festive Faire season in 2023.
