PAIGE — Robin Hood returns to Bastrop County this weekend.
The 14th Annual Sherwood Forest Faire will open its festival season Saturday, March 4, at 10 a.m. and continue through Sunday, March 5, at 7:45 p.m. The festival continues every Saturday and Sunday through April 23 as well as Friday, March 17.
Named one of the “Best Renaissance Fairs in The U.S.” by TravelAwaits.com, Sherwood Forest Faire takes place in a 25-acre medieval style village near Paige. The lush, wooded grounds feature over 100 permanent buildings, including stages, pubs, merchant shoppes, wedding venues, a fully functional castle and more. A wide array of entertainments and diversions can be enjoyed, with over 150 performances by more than 40 stage acts, including full-contact jousting, falconry, comedians, jugglers, musicians and other shows for both children and adults. As guests wander the lanes, they may encounter fairies, peasants, Robin Hood, Little John, the Sheriff of Nottingham and even King Richard the Lion-Heart.
Shoppers can choose from the works of over 170 artisans and merchants showcasing distinctive wares, including mostly handcrafted items by jewelers, potters, glassworkers, woodworkers, leatherworkers, armorers and more. Many of these skilled craftspeople offer live demonstrations and provide hands-on activities for children visiting their shoppes.
Festival grounds are located at 1883 Old Highway 20 in Paige.
