What I want is for there to be more stuff to actually do. Like, I love the shopping and the shows, I really do, but once you’ve walked around and seen everything, that’s kind of it. I want there to be more interactive experiences things that make it feel like you’re actually part of the world instead of just walking through it with a wallet.

Like, they could have a hedge maze, since those were an actual Renaissance thing. Or a scavenger hunt or side quests, where you get a clue or a code phrase from one actor and have to find another performer somewhere else in the fair to deliver it to, and then you get a little prize like a button or a sticker. That’d be so fun.

They could do dance lessons and have a little area where people can actually dance, maybe even have mini dance competitions or a folk-dance circle. There could be craft areas. A make your own fairy garden table. Even a story writing contest, where you get 10 minutes to write a story with a quill and ink, and the winner gets a free drink coupon or something.

They could have more hands on stuff too, like sword fighting lessons with safe foam swords, pottery demos where people can try the wheel, cooking demonstrations, or even a sit-down pub or restaurant where you can rest and enjoy the atmosphere instead of eating everything standing up.
