May 9-10: Opening Weekend
 We’re back! The Queen is on Progress and has come to Staffordshire. The whole village is abuzz with preparations: merchants have arrived to set up their wares, the kitchens are busy preparing turkey legs and other savory fare, and traveling players have arrived, ready to amuse Her Majesty (and you). Circus Stella performs with dogs, aerial silks, trapeze and rope walking. Our knights prepare for the joust and the Renaissance Man, Ned Alleyn turns horrible history into side-splitting comedy.

May 16-17: Fire, Mystery and Romance
 This weekend our little village is invaded by strangers from afar! Watch fantastic feats of juggling, aerial acrobatics, fire spitting and more, as London Broil and KlassKlowne astound you with their bravery and skill. Sashenka the Contortionist walks on a rope and makes a human pretzel. Dinty the Moorand Mars Mandrake’s sleight of hand will have you doubting your own eyes. All of this and more, to the sounds of musicians wandering the lanes.

May 23-24: Pirate Invasion and Military History
 Ahoy! The shire is awash in pirates and privateers! The Pyrates Royale and Scales and Crosstones provide musical accompaniment to the invasion. Our joust troupe shows you how knights on horseback trained for battle. The Order of the Marshall demonstrates sword combat. This weekend only, to honor their service, we admit active, reserve and retired military personnel at no charge. (Military ID required, does not include dependents.)
