Welcome to West Kingdom Towne, where you are invited to roam amongst our artisans, craftspeople and merchants, and to join in and learn about the busy hum of daily life in a prosperous medieval town. You’re in luck, as you are visiting while we celebrate the renewal of spring with a Towne Faire! In addition to the activities of our day-to-day townsfolk, you’ll be witness to the wondrous entertainments that a medieval faire would typically attract.
