Guests can explore booths featuring dozens of artisan crafters alongside a living history encampment with live steel combat, blacksmithing, and period cooking demonstrations. Wandering troubadours, bagpipers, harpers, dancers, and living statues provide entertainment throughout the park. The grounds also host a royal processional, children's storytelling, and food merchants along Bakers' Lane.
