Admin – Robin Hoods Faire

The Maze

Take a stroll through the Maze as you hunt for lost treasure!

Archery

Step up to the line and test your skill at archery! This is where Robin and his Merry Band practice (and you thought it was in his mom’s garage). Can you hit the bullseye?

Arrow Tag

Shoot your friends! Shoot strangers! Win the day! Arrow tag is like paintball but with bow & arrow instead of paintball markers. Fire safe “marshmallow” tipped arrows to eliminate other players. Fun for all ages!

Knighting Ceremony

Check your schedule to make sure you don’t miss out on the Knighting Ceremony! Brave young squires and ladies can appear before Queen Eleanor or one of our knights to be elevated to Knighthood. Applicants must be brave, honest, chivalrous and noble of deed.

Knight School

Children of all ages will enjoy learning what life was like for Knights and Squires.

Fight the Knight

Think you can fight a knight…for the princess? to the DEATH? Well, we won’t take it that far, but you can challenge one of our knights to see if you can win the day. Great fun for kids AND adults!

Hurl Bats

Looking to take out some aggression on a wall of rough-cut lumber but Axes and Daggers are a bit too much? Try our hurl bats! Violence that anyone can enjoy!

Axe Throw

Axes are all the rage now-a-days, but we’ve been doing it for years! Come play the OG version of the latest craze!

Dagger Toss

They say a skilled thief can put three daggers on target without looking. We don’t recommend that, but can you get at least ONE to stick in?

Test of Strength

Are you big? Strong? Tough? Brave? Think you can ring the bell? I bet you can’t. Give it a try at the Test of Strength!

Pet Rules

Dog Policy: Robin Hood welcomes all well behaved dogs. The following rules are mandatory:

- Intact dogs in heat are not permitted.
- Dogs must be leashed at all times. 6 foot maximum leash.
- All dogs must have proof of rabies vaccination.
- NOTE: Many puppies are not yet old enough to have their rabies vaccination. It is the owner’s responsibility to assess the risk of bringing young puppies to an outdoor event. We will not be held responsible for any illness a puppy may contract due to their age.
Friendly Pets Only: Public-friendly pets are welcome at the Faire on all event days.
Leashes: Pets must be leashed. Dogs must be on short leashes no longer than 6 feet.
Clean Up: Guests are expected to clean up and maintain control of their pets.
Types of Pets: We have seen all types of pets over the years including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, rats, lizards and even a goat. No horses, donkeys, mules, livestock, etc. The Faire reserves the right to remove/refuse-entry to any pet. If you aren’t sure if your pet will be allowed into the Faire, please contact us before heading our way at 860-478-5954.

Inclement Weather

Please visit our Facebook page for up-to-date closure info or phone 860-478-5954 before heading out. We strive to remain open on most rain days, but will close due to safety concerns.

Outside Food & Beverage Policy

While Robin Hood's Faire has a variety of affordable food options, we also allow guests to bring packed lunches, snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages. Outside alcohol is forbidden and will result in being escorted off site. Faire management reserves the right to inspect any and all packages.

Photography

Commercial photography is forbidden without written permission from festival management. All guests of the Faire may take photographs or video for personal use only. For the safety of our guests Faire management reserves the right to ask any individual on the premises to stop on site photography or videography at any time for any reason. All attendees, whether paid or free admission, grant The Connecticut Renaissance Faire permission for their photograph to be used in our collateral materials. Parents or guardians of a child grant the Faire permission to use their photograph in our collateral materials.

Cannon FIre

Please be advised that we may have a cannon firing at 10:30 am to announce the opening of our event. During the day we have blackpowder weapon demonstrations between 3:00 and 3:45 pm that may result in sudden, loud noises. Around 6pm we may fire a cannon to announce our closing.

ATM Available

For your convenience, an ATM machine is available inside the site.

Wheelchairs

The site is wheelchair accessible with some steep slopes in places. Sorry, we don’t have wheelchairs for rent.

Outdoor Event

We are an outdoor event, which means you’ll likely encounter bees and other insects as well as varying temperatures and rain. The grounds are mostly level, but some areas have steep slopes or stairs.

Refunds & Re-Entry

The Faire does not offer refunds or ticket exchanges including refunds for closure due to weather, acts of god, or other reasons beyond our control. We do allow same-day re-entry to the faire. Just be sure to get a hand stamp at our entrance prior to exiting.

Costumes & Weapons

Guests are welcome to wear family-friendly costuming to get into the fun. Costuming doesn’t have to be “Renaissance” as we’re a fantasy-based event. Come as you are or as you wish to be… Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Superheros, Villains, Stormtroopers, etc.

Bladed weapons must be peace-tied. Bows must be unstrung. Arrows must not be removed from their quiver.

Ticket Scams & Fraud

Be aware that there are numerous ticket scammers on Facebook claiming that (for whatever excuse) they can’t make it to the Faire this year and want to sell their tickets (usually cheap). Scammers are also able to print fake tickets and attempt to sell them in our parking lot. We cannot guarantee the validity of these tickets. To avoid being scammed we recommend purchasing your tickets through our website or at our box office on all Faire days.
