Had a good time with the family. Teenagers and a toddler all enjoyed it. The food was pretty good and coffee was even better. The shows were fun to see also

We love Sherwood! We go every year. It is quite a bit smaller than TRF, and much more family friendly, making it a perfect fit for family groups with children. The activities are fun and the shows are enjoyable. Lots of vendors with beautiful handmade items, and good food, too. This year there were more people than previous years, so one caveat - get there early! Parking is a breeze right at opening. The later you arrive, the more trouble you'll have and the longer you will have to wait getting to the lot.

Iv waited over 10yrs for a Turkey leg and to come to one of these. I ABSOLUTELY had the BEST TIME now i know why i need to bring my ENTIRE bank account with me to enjoy more fun and next time I MUST come camping for a weekend. I ow SO MUCH of my happiness to the ppl working this event. First was the turkey-leg-guy SHOUT-out!! I dont remember any names but i made so many memories from getting my hair braided to getting a COMPLETE OUTFIT and everyone whom helped stuff me into my green outfit was so amusing to share the experience with. I also got to meet someone who was involved with the FANTASTIC meed i was drinking... HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING MEED ::the elder was my fav ..... i will never miss a year again after this day. Shaming people and putting them in the jail and the circus family and alllll the art n venders and Wonderful efforts put into all the clothes,art,shoes,decor,accessories and armor just made me honestly VIBRATE with excitement the entire day.

This is my third time attending the Sherwood Forest Faire and it never disappoints! I love a good show with a mead and turkey leg in both hands. Daphne and Cookie's laundry show are a must see- they're hilarious and very interactive. Food prices have definitely gone up since last year. $18 for a turkey leg is bananas but it's a staple so I had to get one.

Sherwood Forestfaire park We were stopped at entrance over an ADA issue. A 4 lb ADA certified dog in ADA vest, with tags and always held by my wife because my wife is brittle diabetic and the dog has to be able to smell my wife's breath, to see if she is low blood sugar or high blood sugar. Employee insisted on dog having a leash.. We will be contacting Austin TV media, an ADA attorney to drag Forestfaire employees into court for an interpretation of ADA law. Other people were walking around with dogs and no indication of service animal. People walking around with weapons, swords, longbows and arrows, daggers, but a 4 lb service dog without a leash is a problem. A lot of folks walking around , needing soap and water, (body odor on a 70 degree day) who don't have full length mirrors obviously from all the cottage cheese thighs and pale loose skin bellys looking like a can of biscuits exploded. Save your money and time and go to Busseys flea market if you want to climb hills and see ugly stinky people, and buy high priced junk.

A nice cute little Renaissance Faire! It's got all the classic events like jousting and birds or prey and can easily keep you busy for a full day. We camped there each time, and it can be pretty tough to find a spot to set up a tent, especially one that isn't immediately up against someone's loud generator, which was frustrating. But despite the subpar camping setup, the faire itself is quite fun. I particularly enjoyed the raunchy musical show by Opal and Jade.

I went with a friend and our kids. I was very surprised how crazy expensive it is to come. There was extremely little to do for free once you pay the high ticket entry. I did appreciate how in character everyone was, however I would not come again if I had to purchase the entry ticket and everything else.

What a fun experience! First parking, they seem to have have plenty of parking but we waited in the car line about 20-30 minutes before getting to the actual parking lot when we arrived around 1 pm. We had to change our position and enter the parking line off hwy 290 instead of off of Old Hwy 20. Once in the parking lot you will be directed where to park by festival staff. There were some pedi-cabs offering rides to the entrance. So many people dress up in costume which adds to the feeling of being fully immersed in the Renaissance atmosphere. The grounds are on mostly dirt and gravel so wear close toed shoes. I talked with a fairy who was camping there for the weekend. They also offer other accommodations so you can have fun without worrying about driving. Bring cash, the cash food and drink booths seemed to have shorter lines. Expect long lines for food, drinks and the bathroom if you are a maiden, however you will be surrounded by music and performance wherever you go so you'll stay entertained. We tried Elderberry mead which was very delicious. We decided to dress up for the day and I am so glad we did because it helped me feel like part of the world they created. Next time we'll go earlier and I'll definitely wear my sneakers with my costume. We're planning to go to the Celtic festival in September now.

Family friendly, medium sized "Robin Hood-like" fair where much us combined, yet a bit pricey. The location is appealing. The parking well coordinated with quantity, order, ADA accessibility and pedicabs. Bring comfy shoes, stay hydrated and snacks for your small ones. There are not many healthy choices for the younger tots(costumes are fun for all ages), medically monitored or dietary needs. Eat a good meal before going and having some sandwiches waiting in a cooler at your car is great. There are still things both visual and colorful that families can enjoy. But be aware there are alot of subtle "nods" for "donations" to some rides, games and joust. It us not just turkey legs and anything fried or "vold/stale"; there us the Jerusalem Cafe (a bit further into the fair) that offers close to healthier food and Turkish coffee."no diet drinks and pricey water, so fill your canter...Definitely, something to do every few years and nice lil town even in the McDade area.

I love the covered seating along the walls. The stage shows ate never so loud that conversation at your table cannot be heard. Excellent drink selection. Good place to sit and spend some time relaxing. Privies next door so you do not have to go far.

Went to Sherwood Forest Faire. It was a lot of fun. There are performances all around. There are games you can play. There are lots of stores to purchase things at. Be sure to take cash. You may need it for different things. The food was good. The wrap was very filling and flavorful. The pineapple ice cream in the pineapple was soft and sweet. So good. You can pay with a credit card at the food places. Many people at the Faire dress up but you don't have to and you can always rent a costume. Overall it is a fun family friendly place where you can enjoy the performances and the food.

First time here, and not really my thing. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and different shows and costumes. The park was well kept and cleaned, maintained. Staff was friendly and alive. Shows were interactive and great. Food and drinks were great but maybe a tad bit overpriced. A great sense of clientele, it def felt like a safe place. Everyone was having fun, and it was an experience.
