  Step back in time to 16th Century England and
visit the days of His Majesty King Henry VIII


King Henry and his court will welcome guests and will lead them into the
village after the opening gate ceremony.

After the final joust of the day, King Henry and his court invite guests to the Village Inn for a final pub sing, before leading everyone to the closing gate ceremony!

Visitors will hear music fill the air, as ribbons and flags wave in the breeze. They will smell exotic foods cooking, hear artisans hawking their wares, watch actors, musicians, and dancers performing throughout the day. Don't forget to cheer for your favorite knight at the joust.

Try walking across a monkey rope bridge, participate in court dances, listen to dragon stories or test your skills at the catapult contest and win a prize.
