The Ultimate Couples Date

Thy desire to liven up thy courting rituals is thine for the taking! We invite thee and thy paramour to step back in time to the 15th century!
 
Enter the Shire of New Crossford at the New Jersey Renaissance Faire and indulge your senses in the merry and eclectic atmosphere!

Seven Stages of Shows

Whiskey Tasting

Delicious Food

For couples, anything can happen in New Crossford, and usually does! You can rub elbows with armored knights, noble Lords and Ladies, woodsmen, maidens, and all sorts of colorful characters.

There is so much to do at the Faire; so grab a map and make your way around the festival grounds! Visit any one of our seven stages for a grand variety of entertainment options! Experience Shakespeare like never before, or learn how life was like during the Renaissance from any of the New Crossford villagers.
Join in the lively festivities, where you can sample hearty dishes and thirst-quenching ales that will transport you back to a more adventurous time.
Learn the Art of Chivalry from armored knights so that you may better woo your intended – or learn to cross blades so that you can defend their honor!

.
Don’t forget to visit the marketplace, where artisans showcase their handmade crafts, allowing you to take a piece of the Renaissance home with you.

We have food and drink fit for Kings and Queens! Feast on delicacies that include Dragon Legs, Fairy Floss, fresh made donuts, gourmet sandwiches, and giant pickles on a stick! Enjoy a generous portion of locally brewed ale or wine in the Mead Garden during your visit! Oh, and the Celtic whiskey tasting should definitely not be missed!

Should it be your first time at the NJ Renaissance Faire, you will not want to miss out on these fine moments too:

  • Living Chess Match – watch as the characters of the New Crossford battle it out to control the squares of the chess board; much to the Duke’s chagrin.
  • The Tournament of Virtues – see the Quest Knights of Virtue as they battle with sword and shield to determine which Virtue is best in man!
  • Shelli Buttons – an aerial silks and circus trick performer that defies gravity and physics!
  • The Lords of Adventure – choose to learn the path of adventure and be a Hero with these “identical” twin brothers!
  • The Joust – witness the medieval art of knights armed with lance and horse charge across the sands to best each other!

 

Bring your lovely, bring a friend – but most of all bring your imagination to this year’s New Jersey Renaissance Faire!
