A Faerie Tale Quest: An Educational Guide

The Age of the Renaissance was a time of rebirth, imagination, and new ways of seeing the world. In this era where history and legend intertwine, Queen Elizabeth I invites all who attend the faire to take part in a Faerie Tale Quest.

This enchanted quest will challenge thy wit and curiosity as it draws thee into the daily life, ideas, and wonders of 16th-century Europe. Through stories, hands-on learning, and living history, discover how art, science, culture, and creativity shaped a remarkable age.

Upon completing the quest, present thy discoveries to Queen Elizabeth I—or one of her trusted courtiers—who shall test thy learning and confirm thy success.

A Knighting Ceremony is held daily at 3:00 PM in the Royal Court for those who earn the favor of the Queen. Completed quests may be turned in until 5:00 PM each day to claim thy reward.
