The 15th Annual Royale Medieval Faire

Hello my freaky darlings! I hope you all had a fabulous week and it’s time for my review of the 15^th annual Royal Medieval Faire (Yay!)

 

But before I get really into it, I have to say that I’m using my stepdad’s camera and it is EVIL! So it may take a bit for the pics from the faire to be up.

 

So the Royal Medieval Faire is a completely volunteer run Medieval Faire held in the Waterloo West Park every September. The nice thing about this event is the interactivity of it. The characters, which range from Pirates to Nobles, wander around the Faire when not working the plot which occurs every hour and half hour and interact with the fairgoers, all while staying in character.

 

I worked in both the 13^th and 14^th year of the fair but chose to leave due to way too much drama off stage. It was nice though, as this year I attended as just a regular fairgoer.

 

This year the plot was based loosely around ‘Game of Thrones’ and was called ‘Game of Murdered Thrones’ as it was based around a six-year-old murder mystery that was re-brought on by the murdered Queen’s troublemaking brother, the King of Dearth.

 

I didn’t stay too watch the whole show though, as it goes till 5PM and my poor sister has a lot of homework AND a cold (poor pippi). I’m okay with that though as it always ends in a happy ending and the King of Mearth will deffinetly stay as King.

 

Anyway, I chose to re-wear my Stocking dress from Anime North 2012 and I added a pair of elf ears which I bought two years ago. I also wore a t-shirt under it to make the outfit a little warmer. I was really pleased with the end result though, and I guess everyone else was too as I got loads of compliments and even a few pictures – including one of the faires runners (:

 

The faire itself is a little…uh…dull. It’s mostly kid based with childish games like a battering ram and foam sword fighting. But there are some super cool booths that selling everything from chainmail to actual weaponry.  I suppose the main appeal of the faire is to watch the actors and see the great costumes. Unfortunately only the latter was really good this year ): I don’t know why but the actors were kinda meh this year. But I guess they are just better with children then with other adults.

 

My favorite part of the whole day? An adorable little girl telling me that I looked like a princess! Seeing peoples responses to my outfits is always one of my favorite parts of Cosplaying!

 

Overall it is a good way to spend a few hours, despite the not so adult friendly atmosphere.

 

Thanks for reading everybody and now I bid you a fond adieu and safe travels!
