Her Majesty invites you to experience the fantasy of the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire – 35 acres of jousting knights and royal delights await as hundreds of colorfully costumed characters breathe mirth and merriment into a 16th-century English village.

This popular event, which draws all ages – from children to young men and women to grandparents – many of them dressing in costume to add to the festive atmosphere.

The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire held annually at Mount Hope Mansion began as a one-weekend jousting event and is now held on 11 weekends each fall at this beautiful Lancaster County estate.

The Faire’s Swashbuckler Brewing Co., Mount Hope Winery, Lancaster County Cider and Spirits Distilling Co. serve their craft beverages throughout the festival for guests to enjoy with delicious foods from the Royal Kitchens. In keeping with the authenticity of the faire, a popular item is the turkey leg – so in demand that 35,000 are sold each year.

Scores of Renaissance craftsmen line the streets ready to barter their wares.
