If you have an emergency you can contact our security officers for help at any point - in order to contact them simply find the nearest Staff Member and they will take care of it from there.

Unfortunately as this event is temporary we do not have a fully staffed Customer Service Department that runs at all times. However our "contact us" section is always active, and attached directly to our parent company (Atkinson Entertainment) customer service page. Any questions or concerns that you might have will be addressed, and responded to eventually. For a more direct or faster response you are welcome to call instead.

All our demonstrations, interactive characters, and stage shows are included in the price of tickets. Food, games, and rides are an extra cost.

We do also occasionally offer cash back at the gate if needed for a small surcharge.

What is your weapons policy?If you plan to bring real or metal weapons (such as swords, daggers, axes), they must be peace-tied. Peace-tied means that weapons need to be secured to your belt or the scabbard at all times. This is for the safety of all attendees. We will have leather ties available at the gate if you need them. Real or Metal Weapons purchased at the Faire need to be peace-tied or remain in their packages. Children's and toy weapons are not required to be peace-tied.

A service animal must also be under control at all times. We prefer that Service Animals have visual identification (vest, leashwraps, etc.), when you bring them into the festival gates as this helps let others know the animal is working and to give them space or to ask before interacting. Service dogs may be taken to any area in the festival. Emotional support animals are not legally allowed in public places and cannot enter the festival grounds.
