Merchant Living History Demonstrations
The Faire is looking to enhance our living history section of our Renaissance Faire.
MERCHANTS are invited to showcase their unique craft or living history skill such as glassblowing, blacksmithing, weaving, cookery, or other Renaissance crafts. All ideas will be considered, so be creative!
Demonstrating MERCHANTS must be able to perform (3) twenty-five minute demonstrations on all public and (2) twenty-five minute demonstrations on School Days. Those demonstrations will be scheduled on the daily writ.
Demonstrating MERCHANTS may be able to conduct individual workshops with patrons for a fee, provided ticketing is advertised and sold through the Faire’s general ticketing system.
Additional Requirements
MERCHANT must provide a rough script of the demonstration to the Entertainment Director and be prepared to “perform” the demonstration to the Entertainment Directors upon request prior to the season.
MERCHANT must be able to perform to more than 20 Patrons per demonstration in order to qualify as a Demonstrator, in either bleacher or bench seating.
