Royal Court

Step back in time with the Royal Court! Queen Ariana and King Leopold and their court look forward to welcoming you to Marshallmoor and the Mayfaire Renaissance Festival.  Each year the King and Queen go out to Marshallmoor to welcome the beginning of Summer.  And what better way to do that than to have a festival.  Be sure to wear your finest in the case that you meet their Majesties.  Their Majesties court also travels to Marshallmoor as the business of governing continues even whilst even on progress.  But the streets of the cities are crowded, and well it's just a perfect time to visit the country. 

 


Royal GuardIMG_5014

IMG_5000"Her Majesty''s Royal Guards is a fully armored , full contact combat fighting show. The weapons are real!
The blood that flows is real! The swords we use are made by our very own Sir Killain McKight our Master of Arms"

Paul_rogue_bladesRogue Blades

Come see what happens when an arrogant knight and his bumbling squire come face to face with a sinister swordsman. Enjoy lots of laughts and some of the most exciting live steel broadsword fighting you'll see anywhere.

Knotty Bits

Sylver_Gwyd_rsYou know the old saying that goes "the couple that plays together, stays together?" That is true for "Gwyd The Unusual" and his 01_dragonpartner "Sylver Fyre."

Together they make up the world-travelling "Knotty Bits" Sideshow, performing stunts that you have to see believe!

From balancing on martini glasses in bare feet to shoving a five-inch nail up his nose, the professionally trained performers pride themselves on being very safety conscious.

Their goal is to not scare you away, they simply aim to entertain; and that is exactly what they do!

Rick Rock

RicRoc5_rsAll ages enjoy his mad-cap comedy shows as he uses no ‘off-color’ material that may offend. Billed as a bombastic beguiler of bumblingRicRoc1_rs buffoonery, his character ‘Lupe’ is especially endearing—performed in mask and spoken only in gibberish, this performance is perfect for audiences where variety languages are spoken. His juggling performances can incorporate pins, balls, fire torches, bowling balls—just about anything that he can lift! Perfecting his magic shows since he was a boy, these performances are completely awesome. Or, mix it up!

Djilia Phralengo

rheliqpromo1I'm my music's humble servant.

Djilia Phralengo plays a variety of stringed instruments, many crafted by dear friends of mine. Having performed with metal 2007-MRF-2bands, acoustic ensembles, and orchestras; I've performed at coffee shops, concert halls, theaters, and medieval festivals; I've had the pleasure of performing with my friends in musicals and just jamming in our backyards. I am particularly fond of musical elegance... old and ancient, new and contemporary. I value and appreciate technique and style, but not so much as an honest and authentic effort in creating what speaks to the creator.

Robyn the Bardrobyn

Hailing from Kalamazoo, Michigan, Doug Peterson approaches his music with irreverence and a sense of soul felt sentimentality. His sound has been likened to Cat Stevens, Billy Corgan, and Weird Al playing for a Victorian tea party after the wine has arrived. Performing a set, he can move seamlessly from a folk ballad, to a melodic hard rock anthem, into a quirky geeky love song, all while engaging his audience with anecdotes and personal stories. An evening with Doug is more than a concert— it’s a mad fantastical journey.

Tweedler the Fool

Hey, I'm Sabrina...I teach dance and do a ton of performing as well. I've been all around the states in order to learn more about my art and share what I know in the process. I've been to Egypt and recently returned from performing in Thailand.

Life is dance...dance is life.

The Eldritch Brothers

Vikings

Step back even further in time as you take a peek into the life of the vikings. Re-Enactment actually started in the Renaissance time period, as the new learned vikingpeople of the time started looking back in time to their ancestor's.

Meet some very colorful characters as they teach you about life when the Vikings ruled the seas. With metal, wood and fabric demos
