Fun video! …nice to meet you guys!
Are the giant turkey legs still there
Sadlobster1 …funny you should ask this right after us posting a new Ren Faire vlog where our daughter tries a turkey leg for the first time. czcams.com/video/-peejxcqndA/video.html
So yea, they are still there!
@@FromtheHobbitHole Thank goodness!
On Sunday during one of the years we went to the faire; instead of a giant turkey leg, they were serving small roasted drumsticks (the kind one would get from a Sam's Club chicken)
Something must have happened with the supplier for them to do that! Giant turkey legs are a Renaissance Faire staple!!
Brilliant video! Been there during the Celtic weekend. Fantastic place! Looking forward to 2022 faire.
Thanks! We’ve never been to Celtic Fling, but the Faire season we cannot miss!
Thank you so much for making this!! My friend and I are going in 2022 and this was really helpful for planning/getting a feel for the space.
You are very welcome! We are currently working on this year’s new for PRF 2022 video!! We’ll have it up this weekend so come back and check it out. There’s a lot more that has changed!
I had NOT realized SO much had changed!
It was a big year for construction projects, that’s for sure!
Buddy is taking me, it's my first visit. Can't wait! Going to hotel tonight for tomorrow! Gandalf part had me smiling so hard 😂
Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed the Gandalf part! That was a fun and unexpected addition to our vlog. Let’s hope the rain stays away tomorrow! 🤞
We hope to meet you and see you at the Faire this year ! See thee Anon !
There’s always a good chance you’ll run into us! We are there a LOT!!
I liked the old style setup for the jousts
The old style definitely did have a nice aesthetic and more try color tones to the period…we won’t deny that, but it was soooooo unsafe for the actors to be on it!! It was deteriorating really bad! From what we’ve heard around Faire, this is not the final look for the joust stage. This was what they could do with lumber costs being high and coming off of the pandemic. The final envisioned stage, if they are able to build it the way they want, will be quite amazing!
om god that so cool plus luv ur video
Thank you! 😊💚💛
Can't wait for time travelers weekend
The unicorn garden used to be picnic tables
There are still tables around the Unicorn Garden in the Picnic Grove! If our memory serves us correctly, there used to be a small stage for children’s shows where the Unicorn Garden now resides.
Nice, we plan to be out for Autumn Harvest Weekend!
That’s this weekend!!!
@@FromtheHobbitHole Yes! We are on the road now….well Wawa presently. 😉
Will be there this coming weekend. Thanks for all the info
The weather this weekend looks amazing! Enjoy yourselves!!
I love this video! Me and my family go to this faire every year this was a lot of helpful info for this year thank you!
Thank you and you’re welcome! Glad you found it helpful!! 💚💛 Enjoy your time at the Faire!
@@FromtheHobbitHole thank you! And we will! ❤️
The new garden and wax hands shop are whole new owners. The original owners of those 2 areas have decided to retire, hence the whole new designs. :)
We heard that too! We are curious to see what the wax hand place will look like in future years because the little pavilion/gazebo doesn’t look like a permanent replacement.
I am very glad i finally got to meet you guys i was so excited i did not stop taking about meeting you guys love meeting you
It was our pleasure to have ran into you both and had the opportunity to get to know you! 💚💛
❤️
Yay another faire video!!!! I loved going yesteday again!!
We saw that you were there via social media, but we didn’t see you!
@@FromtheHobbitHole I missed a lot of people haha. Next time! :)
Great video! I was also there opening day celebrating my friends birthday....I can't wait to go back in a few weeks, there's so much there we missed some of these new changes.
Thanks! Happiest of belated Natal Days to your friend!! We get season passes almost every season and we still haven’t run out of things to see or do!
Love the ren faire updates and recap vlogs . My family goes every year and your vids are a nice way to reminisce while waiting for the next season. Lol. Maybe we will bump into you guys some day! ❤️❤️
Thank you for watching and enjoying them! There’s always that chance you’ll run into us since we are there quite a lot 😃
Such a great video. I miss going/working PARF. I hope to go there sometime this year.
Definitely try to go if you can…lots of new things to see! (As you can tell by our video 😉)
Something are unknown to you but there will be an new build beside the wax hands they just ran out of time to build it.
That makes sense. They build so much this past season, and barely got the Hart Inn completed before Faire opened. We are very curious to see what they do build for the wax hand stand.
🦄
I just seen you on pirate weekend yesterday Saturday 28 2021 at the finale in song near the globe stage
We were up there for a short time before heading out. Sadly, due to Sage’s bedtime, we don’t get to stay for finale in song this season. Next time you see us, please say hello!
I know last year Wolgemut and Circus Stella shared a venue behind Globe, Cirque de Rosa I think it was called
That venue is now where the Hart Inn is located. Wolgemut will be there in October, but Circus Stella will not be there this season
Wow you guys really took the excitement of going to see what was new. Good job, gotta love you tubers such as yourself. Keep up the good work guys.
Thanks for the breakdown! I'm so excited to be back after missing 2020!
You’re welcome!! Enjoy yourself!
@@FromtheHobbitHole have you tried the new food items and overall what would you say is the best Ren Faire food?
We’ve tried a few of the new things so far. The GIANT Everything Pretzel can feed a small army and is quite tasty. Hailey likes the Curry Wurst and the Potato Balls. If you want a snack, we recommend the Peasant Bread which is found at the Funnel Cake stand. The scotch eggs and fish n’ chips are always good classics! We’ve been wanting to try the new Grilled Cheese stand because they have some unique options so that’s on the list for an upcoming week. Turkey legs are good but a bit pricey. One of the best bang-for-your-buck snacks is a pickle on a stick. One for $3 or 2 for $5. Did we answer your question thoroughly enough?? 😜😂
@@FromtheHobbitHole yes, thank you for the suggestions. I've always been a turkey leg and pickle person myself, but finally tried a scotch egg in 2019 and was immediately hooked. I'll follow your lead this year and try out the giant pretzel and Peasant Bread.
If you live in the Lancaster area, go to Lititz and check out the Bulls Head Pub because they have amazing scotch eggs! Let us know what you think of the suggestions we have you.
Yay Faire season!!! It was awesome to see y’all opening day. Looking forward to seeing y’all again.
It was great running into you as well! We will definitely be around often!!
whats that bell sound?
Can you give us a time stamp as to when you heard the bell sound in the video? It’s been almost 2 months since we made this video so we aren’t sure what bell sound you heard.
Can’t wait to come back !!
Thank you for sharing this great video ❣
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!! 💚💛
Love you two! Hope to see you time travelers weekend
We’ll be there! 💚💛
Sadly, my family and I can't attend the faire this year; mainly because the main lodging facility we always stayed at (the Hampton Inn) was closed down until (possibly) further notice.
This was an inconvenience for us because we preferred this place for its location, which is right across the street from the shire gates. Sure, there were other inns and hotels in the area...but THEY are a half hour away and my mother doesn't want to drive thirty minutes to and from the faire when she could just go in her car and drive back across the street to the Hampton in less than a minute.
I hope the place reopens next year and that the COVID crisis will be less of an issue, NEXT year. After seeing these new additions to the faire, I feel really bad for sitting out
We know of people that stay at the Penns Woods Inn just down the street from the Faire and they say it’s nice. As for the Hampton across the street, from what we heard, it was not a place you wanted to stay. Lots of health code violations and illegal workings happening there (that’s why Hampton Corp shut the place down when they found out how to franchise owners were operating it). To put things in perspective….we drive about 30min each way to get to the Faire from where we live. It’s not a terrible drive, but when you are used to being so close, we can see why it doesn’t seem preferable.
@@FromtheHobbitHole Funny, we've stayed at the Hampton for one weekend at the fair for sometime and we never ONCE dealt with these negative aspects of the place.
Our rooms have always been clean, the staff was friendly to us and my mother, who's getting on in years, preferred the right across the street location because anytime she wanted, she could drive back to the hotel and relax in her room for a spell before rejoining me and my sister at the faire grounds later.
Speaking of, my sister loved the place because of the breakfasts they served downstairs in the lobby every morning AND the fact she got to sleep in a bed much bigger than her own at home.
So, you can see why we all love the place so much and why we're hoping it will reopen next year; once the new management possibly fixes things
You aren’t the first person to make known the love of that place. Maybe the issues that closed it down were more pandemic protocol related? 🤷🏻♂️ We don’t know the full details…only rumors from reliable sources.
Great video! I’ll be going for my first time this year during Octoberfest, I’m very excited to attend!
Thanks! Enjoy yourself!!
This year is the first year I am going and I have been trying to find videos to understand what goes on and what is there to do see and buy. I am going with my Husband's DnD clan and we are getting all dressed up. This video was soo helpful! Hopefully we can see more before we go in October for Celtic Weekend
That’s awesome!! If you are DnD fans, make sure to watch Two Bard Party when you’re there. You’ll all love them! They are only arriving to Faire mid September, though, but that shouldn’t be an issue for you since it sounds like you’re coming towards the end of the season. If you want, we have vlogs from previous PRF seasons that you can check out! Some foods we eat and performers you see us enjoy in previous years may not be at the Faire this year, so don’t plan on seeing/eating the exact same things you see from years past. PRF likes to change things up year to year in order to keep it fresh. Here’s the link to the playlist: czcams.com/play/PL_G0COToSYw73uVlnn00IieFJdpc-3WOI.html
Thanks for this video! I’m originally from Pittsburgh and now live in Northern Virginia, so I familiar with the Pittsburgh and Maryland faires. But, I’ll be heading to PA’s the first Saturday in October for a belated bachelorette party (I’m a COVID bride) and I’m so excited.
We’ve heard great things about the Pittsburgh and Maryland Faires. We even know some of the Knights from the Pittsburgh Faire…Sir Lilith to be exact. You will definitely enjoy yourselves at PRF!
I went to the faire yesterday! It was super fun.
So glad you enjoyed yourself!
I very much enjoy the faire but the food is horrible this year.
We’ve tried a couple new food offerings this year and was blown away! Maybe you got something that wasn’t the best? It does seem like the selection of food isn’t as good as it has been in the past, but we are giving the Faire the benefit of the doubt since there are still shortages on different food items due to the pandemic so they probably designed their menu around the types of food they can easily get.
I was saddened to hear about the original Herb shop but as you stated yourself, it is more spacious rather than being limited to small paths. I am also glad to see more things being added and thriving despite the whole pandemic issue with 2020. Once again very nice Video
The old herb garden was very enchanting, but also in disrepair so this is a nice new change. It is nice to see that the Faire didn’t get hit so hard from the pandemic that they couldn’t grow!
If I bought a ticket for one day and can’t make it can I change my date?
A very good question! Though, the answer to that question is not something we have the answer to. We suggest checking the FAQ section on the PRF website, and if the answer can’t be found there you can email or call PRF and they’ll be happy to give you the correct information.
Are there animals? Owls or anything? :o
Yes there are! 3 times a day you can see a Bird’s of Prey show presented by the Royal Falconer. The Falconer also has an area where you can see the birds throughout the day. Also, you can meet a real live unicorn!!
Hello you will need to be back this year more has changed and improved
We have our season passes and we are currently curating our list of new things with some insiders help so we can make a “what’s new” video for this season! It’ll be good to see you upon the Shire once again, “Chip!”
Love this!!! Can you do an overall recap of the main story line?? I felt so confused when I went yesterday when there wasn’t human chess 😅
We were talking about doing a storyline video this season! We’ve yet to follow it this year so we aren’t sure where you would’ve gotten confused. One of our friends that’s on cast did tell us that yesterday was rough…so maybe there was a flub up during the storyline shows that made it confusing? 🤔
Went here in 7th grade and it so much fun!! I dressed up in a purple and black "medieval" costume and got extra credit in history class 😆 Can't wait to go this year with my kiddo!
That’s awesome! Will you and your kiddo dress up as anything?
🧝🏻♀️🧝🏻♂️
Love this video and definitely planning on attending!!!! Just a quick question because this was NOT updated on the website: Are we allowed to bring drinking horns, our reusable drink jugs from previous Faires, etc? Asking because I have both and this is SUPER important for me to know. lol
absolutely you can bring those!
Thanks! Bringing your own drinking vessel is allowed. We’ve even seen people bring their own plates and cutlery! Just be aware that you still have to pay for whatever drink you want them to fill the vessel with 😉
@@FromtheHobbitHole Awesome, definitely gonna take advantage of the refillable jugs again! Thank you so much! ^~^
Btw I just wanna say our tickets are officially booked! If you're planning on attending the Faire, I'll be walking around on the 18th. Hope to see y'all lovely folks there! ^~^
Awesome! Not sure if we’ll be there on that date or not until closer to that weekend, but if we are there and you see us, please feel free to say hello!
Do they check your bags at the entrance?
They do not. But they do check any weapons like swords or axes to make sure that they are peace tied.
Good video
Thank you!
Are people forced to wear face masks now?
At this moment, no. The Faire has made the decision to let it be do personal discretion. However, anything could change before the end of the season!
