I will be there same spot as always.... but with a different tent.....but the same signs and wares.

The Knights of Iron will be there as well with our brand new show "The Adventures of Robin Hood"  Featuring 4 scenes, a human chess match, and a new interactive show where children of the realm get to learn swordsmanship from Robin himself, and then square off against the evil Sheriff of Nottingham.

In addition to the 4 scenes, there are also two other scenes that will occur at random times throughout the day.  Just like in real life, you have to keep a sharp eye out or you might miss something!

One more serious note:  this will be the LAST time the Knights of Iron perform at a Renaissance Faire.  We have decided that, after 9 years, it is time to move onto other projects.  We hope that all of you enjoyed our many Renaissance shows, and those we have been involved in, over the last decade, including:

The Pirate Magic Danger Show (2000) - Produced in conjunction with Ring of Steel
Robin Hood (2001)
The Three Musketeers -vs- The Pirate King (2002-2003)
Legends Never Die (2004-2005)
The Legend of King Arthur (2005-2007)
and this year our new production of The Adventures of Robin Hood 

It has been a great run.  Join us for one last adventure!

DO NOT stay at the Knights Inn.  It is in an awful area, and the rooms smell.  Last year the police raided it while we were there.  We were moved promptly to another hotel.

Hope that helps,
