3 Stars. Why? First of, the folks and vendors who worked there are amazing folks so 5 stars to them! Price of admission is reasonable and free water on a hot day is a 5 star for this event. However, 2 stars goes to going to this place the 1st opening day and 3rd opening day the week after. I loved this place. However, it did not really give me the medieval faire vibe. I had high expectations it would have a better environment than King Richards Faire and though I expected it would not be near as King Richards, it was just tents with random wares and trinkets that yes, it does cater to some folks but to others it was more of an outdoor museum. This is Fremont, NH so we are not expecting a big spectacle nor I would expect the event organizers and property owners would invest a lot of money to go all out and give visitor's the experience they deserve of what they look for in a medieval faire. It is difficult to deliver to visitors of what they really want but the vibe and atmosphere was just not there and I found most folks were leaving after an hour or two of a visit was there was not much to see. Yes, it was so darn hot on the two weekends to the points the Brotherhood of Arrows were baking in 95 degree heat. I get it, people were leaving because of heat but also there was not much of an entertainment. I saw several large group of young people dressed up for the event. Only to find themselves bored out of their mind and they left after about 2hrs or less. Needless to say, this place can really do well if they had more of a variety of things to see and do. They have this large plot of land and so many opportunites to expand and really make this a special several days of an event. If one thing I can suggest here is at least put some background medieval-esque music instead of just silence. I get it, it was hot and probably not the best for electronics to run but there are ways to make those run and I suggest the NH RenFaire invest next year on very good event advisors who know what can cater to visitors and make people stay longer and for folks to spread the word that this RenFaire is the best in NH - not just the best RenFaire in NH has to offer. If interested, reach out and I am more than happy to make suggestions.

Live music, live fire show. Jousting, and more. They had water and sunscreen available all over the grounds to keep everyone safe. Looking forward to next year.

Easy to find, tons of parking, lots of vendors, and great performers! Everyone was super friendly and there was a good variety of booths and shows.
