Entertainment
Throughout the day, guests can enjoy live entertainment featuring pipers, music, and performances inspired by British culture. From lively bagpipes to graceful music played on the harp, there's something for everyone to enjoy! Guests can also mingle with members of the Renaissance Festival and the Jane Austen Society, which will add to the festive atmosphere and camaraderie of the event.
Tombola
In the UK, a tombola is a form of raffle in which prizes are pre-assigned to winning tickets. Numbered raffle tickets are used, with prizes allocated to all those ending in a particular digit (traditionally a five or a zero). Players pay for a ticket and then draw from a tombola drum. Tombolas are popular at events such as village fêtes and coffee mornings (and the British Faire).
Children's Room
Delight the little ones in the Children’s Room at the British Faire! Enjoy charming drop-in crafts, jolly games, and two splendid family storytimes. We kindly ask that all children be accompanied by an adult, as this is a shared family space.
