Questing
There are several different Quests you can take on during the Faire. Go to the House of Tudor and choose which Royal you want to swear fealty to, and they will give you a quest! Or do them all and collect the favor of all the Royals to display! (Adult and Kids quests available)
Battle-Axe A Knight!
Come win a prize by throwing a battle axe at a charging knight! Located on the East side of the Jousting Ring, come meet Sir Tristan and Sir Stefan and try your hand at their game! (Additional charge for this activity)
Another option is the Faire’s Mystery Quest! Start at the Utah Renaissance Sea Nymphs and begin a quest throughout the Faire to solve the mystery they set forth! Be careful though…those Sea Nymphs can be tricky!
Fairies
Did you know that Fairies come in all shapes, colors, and sizes? We have just found out that Fairies from all the realms are planning to come to the Utah Renaissance Faire and celebrate together!
Fairies are each special, just like people! And some have special gifts, like Opal the Fairy. Did you know she doesn’t speak with her mouth? Only with her hands! She speaks ASL! So if you have someone special that speaks ASL, come to the Faire and look for her. We also have a beautiful snow/ice fairy who was born with just one wing! So she can only fly in circles. But she turned that into a talent! You know the spirals and bubbles that show up in ice? SHE makes those! Because she can fly in such tight circles!
But watch out for the Fairy Smasher! The fairies need all the children to help them defeat the Fairy Smasher! Come to the Utah Renaissance Faire and find out how to be the hero of your own story and help the fairies! Come see the Sea Fairies, or the Art Fairies, and you might even catch a glimpse of the King and Queen Fairies of one of the realms!
Shield Wall
Watch out! Those Vikings tend to raid The Shire for treasures, then defend themselves in a Shield Wall in a kid-friendly launch at the Trebuchet.
The Shire
Perhaps the most unique part of the Faire is The Shire, where artisans and volunteers come to create a Tudor Village complete with church, Globe Theater, and even a pillory for the naughty ones! Meander through the village and learn about crafts and remedies of the day. Immerse yourself in the free activities and entertainment, and interact with our many characters, or purchase beautiful things.
Reach
Raising Education through Arts, Characters, and Heroes (REACH) is a registered 501c3, non-profit organization for educational support. We run interactive educational programs in various schools around the state, teaching Anti-Bullying, Literacy, History, and Art. All of our educational programs are done in full costume, whether it be a Character costume or that of a Hero. Come visit our Pirate Ships and meet some of our volunteers!
Traddlaq The Semi-Dragon
(We want to stay factual here and we don’t want to boost his ego…lol)
Come hear the story of how Traddlaq came to be a Semi-Dragon! He’s very shy and only comes out twice a day for just a few minutes! But stop by and get a picture! Traddlaq appearances at the Battle-Axe A Knight camp: 11:00am, 3:00pm, and 5:00pm each day.
