I have lived in the area for 9 years and always knew of this festival going on. I finally brought my children last week just get get them out of the house. I am so glad I did. Everyone was friendly and kind with my kids. They all stayed in character and my kids had a blast! We purchased wooden swords from an awesome weapons shop, they took archery lessons, made crafts, learned to fight with the militia (their favorite part of the day besides archery), had great food and drinks and played the pirate games. We will definitely be back again. Our experience was worth every penny we spent. They are already asking to go back this weekend.
