Sherwood Forest Faire: Full Contact Jousting & Feasts

Step into the immersive world of the Sherwood Forest Faire during opening weekend. Located in McDade, Texas, just east of Austin, this incredible medieval-style village spans 25 acres and features over 100 permanent buildings, including merchant shops, pubs, and a complete castle. Operating every spring, the faire transports visitors back to the era of Richard the Lionheart, with an overarching storyline featuring Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Experience the sights and sounds of the village through a cinematic, first-person point of view. With over 150 daily shows and 170 artisans, there is action around every corner. This walking tour takes you past the iconic gates and straight into the action of the full-contact jousting arena with the New Riders of the Golden Age. You will hear the powerful pipes and drums of @wolgemut, laugh along with the @washingwellwenches, and witness the thrilling Robin Hood Castle Siege. From the glowing artistry of the glassblowing demonstration to the heavy hits of the Blunt Force Drama combat tournament, this adventure captures the raw energy and historical charm of the festival.
