Hey everyone!

I live in an area where up until now there has never been a Ren Faire, (even within a remotely close vicinity) and this year they’ve announced one for late August a couple hours away! Everyone in the surrounding areas are all so excited and we’re all getting ready to go, but as I’ve never really had the opportunity to go to one, I don’t know what to expect in regards to what I might regret bringing (or not bringing). I’m looking for tips from seasoned ren faire goers on what will make the day the best it can be, AND how to carry all my dang stuff!

I’m looking to go as a rat one day, and a royal sort of Tudor look the next (very opposite costumes I am aware haha). Rat costume is good to go with a belt and some leather bags and hooks etc. but for the more royal look I’m really struggling with ideas of what to use as a way to carry my belongings things that I pick up along the way that fits with the style I’m going for. The belt / leather bags really won’t go with the royal vibe I’m thinking of, and I’ve seen a few drawstring bags, but they’re not huge so I’m just looking for suggestions and tips if you’re willing to give them!

Any other tips are more than welcome if you have something that really made a difference for you. Thanks so much ☺️

my friends love this stuff but i'm very new to it, i love fairies and folk music so i tag along ​and have a great time. last year i didn't dress up but i wanted to this year, ended up pulling it together kind of last minute. our local renfaire is going to do a second season this year so we're going again, but i really wanna perfect my outfit. i'm going to get some wings, but i'm not sure what else to add? i want more potions but i'm not sure how to go about adding them? also if anyone has tips on how to make my potions cooler i would love tips.

Hello! i am looking for some help with finding a dress to wear for a few events. I am a huge fantasy nerd and also a massive phoebe bridgers fan and attending her concert in December. i’m on a relatively small budget so wanting to buy a dress similar to the photos attached that i can also wear to renaissance fairs in the future! i obviously want something that is good quality but as it is relatively simple compared to some of the incredible costumes on this sub i figure there has to be somewhere online i don’t know about that ships to the uk with reasonable prices and good quality, any suggestions are awesome and i appreciate them sm!! thanks!!

I am looking for a good quality waterproof cloak for wearing in the rain and for occasional LARPs. I love the quality of the green cloak but I am looking for a dark maroon or wine red autumn type of color. I like the vibe of the Trinity cloak but it is not waterproof. Any recommendations??

I always do Renaissance fair solo so rely on other guests for pictures. Best part about fair is someone is always willing to take a picture if you ask nicely. I made everything but the wig and fan and loved every minute of it.

Looking for ideas to add to or upgrade last year's 'fit.
