Free Kids Day at Robin Hood's Medieval Faire
Kids 15 and under get in free on Sunday, May 17 — the opening weekend of Robin Hood's Medieval Faire.
The whole faire is built around the Robin Hood story, so your kids won't just watch it — they'll be part of it. The Sheriff's men wander the village looking for troublemakers. Robin and the Merry Men pop up around every corner, and by the second joust, your kid will be yelling for them like they grew up in Sherwood.
Things to do with the kids:
- Live jousting with knights on horseback
- Archery, axe throwing, and a maze
- Maypole dancing with Lady Ophelia
- Eight stages running all day
- 60+ artisan shops, including blacksmiths, leatherworkers, and more
- Armor and weapons demos you can actually get close to
- Roaming characters who will absolutely make a scene with your kid if you let them
The details:
- Sunday, May 17, 2026
- 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM
- Harwinton Fairgrounds, 150 Locust Road, Harwinton, CT
- Kids 15 and under: free. Adults: regular admission.
- Wheelchair accessible, free parking, rain or shine
Food runs the gamut. Turkey legs, bread bowl stews, hand pies, and scotch eggs for the adventurous. Hamburgers and hot dogs for the ones who aren't.
