Winslowshire – A Renaissance Festival to Benefit Winslow Farm

Imagine a place that seems to step back in time with maidens, knights in shining armor, fairies, pirates and more. Winslowshire Festival for the Animals, a renaissance faire taking place June 25 and 26 at , is just that. 

Winslowshire Festival was created in 2008 as a fundraiser for Winslow Farm, a “Stay for life” animal sanctuary that helps abused animals and offers a tranquil setting. With one year behind them, Winslowshire recieved third place in Best New Renaissance Faire in 2008 and second place in 2009.

Phinn Volt Enterprise’s director Richard Saulnier has been pleasantly surprised at the continued support for this coming year.  “I’m ecstatic that we’ve been able to continue this long with 40 vendors and 20 performers that seem to want to keep coming back!” 

His wife Gia agreed. “We couldn’t be more pleased that Winslowshire seems to be like a little vacation even for vendors and performers alike.  We’ve really strived to make this a very family friendly event so that all ages can have a great time while supporting a fantastic cause,” she said.

In fact, Winslowshire has some previous vendors and performers returning from earlier seasons and some new vendors as well including PupDog Pottery, T York Stained Glass, Parrish Relics and Ironwood Artisans.

Some of the acts include dueling knights, live music, storytelling, wenches, magic and facepainting.

The two day event will be June 25 and 26 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Admission is $12 for adults and $7 for kids ages 5 to 13 and kids under 4 will be admitted free.   

A two day pass is available for $18. A $2 discount will be given to those who come dressed in renaissance attire or have a valid military identification. Specials may not be combined.
