would you go to a renaissance faire?

i wouldn't but i just don't care for things like that, if i had the money to do & wanted to i would u are only young once.

My family went to one years ago and had a blast. But it didn't cost even close to $70.00. That does seem steep even with inflation from 15 years ago. With a 6 course meal it might be worth it though. Are the participants paid actors? The one we went to was put on by a collage drama club with those that were interested and reinactors. The one we went to had booths and you would see people haggling for items. They had an iron worker making make chain mail and rides. There was also a fight between Robin Hood and little John. The sheriff was walking around trying to get to Robin. WE got to see a trial buy turkey legs and bread as well as other souvenirs. They also put on a joust. My grandson was about 6 at the time and when he saw the sheriff of Nottingham before we knew what was happening he attacked the sheriff with his fists. The poor sheriff was so surprised as we were.

There is one near our home every year (King Richard's Faire) and we try to make it each year. It's a lot of fun and my family really enjoys it. It does get expensive though. We're a family of 6, and the day can easily run a few hundred dollars if you're buying soveniers and food.

I would and i think it would be worth the thrill of looking forward to seeing interesting and strange things which a renaissance faire could offer. Treat it as a sort of adventure and look forward to the marketplace. i love seeking out marketplaces because there are so many things that i can see in the marketplace which are either new or strange to me. Every new place i go, i always see to it that the marketplace is in my itinerary. Don't be stingy. Its fun and in case it didn't turn out to be as exciting as you expected, still, the looking forward too, the expectation and the excitement will make up for the disappointment if things don't measure up to your expectations.
