Set your time machine back to the time of Henry VIII. Invite your guests to come in costumes of the 18th Century – Vikings, pirates, maidens, belly-dancers, fantasy characters, jesters and knights.
The Renaissance was a time of inspired painters, the occult, danger on the high seas, and a hint of the erotic. They threw axes at a target for fun, had beer fests, and women were buxom and wore laces to accentuate their waistlines.
They loved comedy, puppet shows, and improvisational stage shows and concerts. Some even have realistic re-enactments.
Renaissance food consists of a pot of stew over an open campfire, some freshly baked bread, and lots of ale! Nothing fancy, but a lot of food and fun! When people stay in costume, and use language of the Renaissance times, it is a blast to participate in.
Holding a Renaissance Fair can be a lot of fun. You can have it outside, and raise a tent if the weather if too damp. Sitting around a campfire will keep everyone warm on a cold winter's night, and food cooking around the campfire
