Renaissance Village is an immersive period-presence class and demonstration area focused on late period (1300-1600) life from across Europe and Asia. We have a variety of period tents, dedicated period kitchen area, and an enchanted grounds style Italian Salon for classes and activities. Classes include topics ranging from arts such as cooking and gaming to sciences such as fine metalwork and renaissance medical knowledge.
