Bring Your Pet to the Faire
At Robin Hood’s Medieval Faire, we love our furry, feathery, and scaly friends and encourage you to bring them along to partake in the medieval festivities! We welcome all public-friendly and well-behaved pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, rats, or lizards.
Pets we don’t allow
We cannot permit livestock, horses, donkeys, mules, or large animals.
Not Sure if Your Pet is Allowed?
If you’re unsure if your pet is allowed or have any additional questions, please contact us at 860-478-5954 before setting off for the Faire. Remember, our priority is to ensure everyone (including our furry friends) has a fun and safe time at Robin Hood’s Medieval Faire.
