Come One, Come All to White Hart Renaissance Faire!
Return to the dynamic, romance-filled times when Shakespeare trod the boards; privateers sailed the seven seas in search of treasure and adventure; while Queen Elizabeth I defied the Spanish King Phillip and kept her own lords at bay. Come one and all to make merry with the villagers of Hart Grove as they vie for the Queen's favor with song, dance, and plays to delight and amuse the court. Let the local lads and lasses teach you to dance the Maypole, or stand back and watch the colors whirl in this ages-old tradition. Let yeomen farmers and goodwives bring you into the festival spirit and feast at one of the village eateries.
Visit the fine merchants of the village market as they lay out goods from far and near. Shop to your heart’s content at many booths and tents with wares hand-made and imported, ranging from jewelry to steel. Smell the hot fresh bread or watch a pottery demonstration by capable and nimble hands.
Meet Sir Francis Drake with his legendary crew of the Golden Hind and hear what wondrous tales the Sea Dogs spin at Freebooter's Market. Visit the encampments of teachers: the Brotherhood of Steel, or re-creators: Musqueteers and Maidens.
Have tea in the presence of The Queen and her ladies-in-waiting, or follow the Mistress of Misrule as she blithely announces the day’s events and the progress of the Queen and her court of fair ladies and noble lords as they explore the village.
See the Queen's falconers, “The Royal Gauntlet Birds of Prey,” practice their ancient science and meet her Majesty’s Master Falconer with his beautiful hawk, Lady Valkyrie, the most photographed Harris hawk in North America. Sit and relax at one of many stages arrayed with continuous performances to entertain you throughout the day; or mingle with wandering jesters, storytellers, and magicians.
Entertainment in abundance will tickle your fancy, and delight your senses making this one of the best ways to spend an affordable mid-summer day or weekend right here in the Ozarks. Entertainment includes:
• "Knights of the Black Griffin"; an Equestrian Team from Marshfield, MO.
• "The Red Moon Tribe"; a travelling family of tribal gypsy dancers and musicians come to our shire for the faire.
• "The Lord Mayor's Company"; amusing plays and comical entertainment, with Satirical Shakespearean prose.
• Area Musicians such as Dan McMillan, Jeffery Piper, Ezra and Dilly, and Lady Nancy.
