Fantastic Fairy Tale Weddings
Have the fairy tale wedding you've always wanted with the help of Sherwood Forest Faire. We have three spectacular venues — Nottingham Castle’s Great Hall, the 7 Sisters Sacred Stone Circle, and Maid Marian’s Chapel.
Our venues are available for events other than weddings, so let us know if you're interested in holding your vow renewal, game night, company retreat or other special event at the Faire ... even in the off-season.
Oft-asked Queries (FAQs)
Are tickets date-specific?
Nay! Our tickets are valid for any day of the faire season, so you can choose when to attend at your convenience. No need to worry about picking a specific date in advance!
What about themed weekends?
We don’t have themed weekends—every day is a grand celebration! That means you can wear whatever Renaissance, medieval, fantasy, or other creative attire you like on any day of the festival.
What should I wear to faire?
Costumes are encouraged but not required! Whether you come as a noble, a peasant, a pirate, a fairy, or just as yourself, you’ll fit right in. Comfortable footwear is highly recommended, and be sure to check the weather before you go!
Is the event family-friendly?
Yes! The faire offers entertainment, food, and activities for all ages. However, some performances may include humor or themes intended for mature audiences, so parental discretion is advised.
Can I bring my own weapons as part of my costume?
Peace-tied (secured) costume weapons are typically allowed, but live steel (sharp blades) and functional firearms are prohibited. Please check our full costume and prop policy before arriving.
Is outside food or drink allowed?
Outside food and beverages are typically not allowed, as we offer a variety of period-inspired (and modern!) food and drink for purchase. Exceptions are usually made for medical needs and infant care.
