ABOUT ENCHANTED ORCHARD
Our journey with Renaissance Faire creative and artistic directing began at Winchendon’s Park & Recreation‘s Wyndonshire Renaissance Faire, where we designed the fantastic realm of Wyndonshire, its lore and the many characters who populate its landscape.
After building the creative team, FaeGuild Wonders, and through overcoming adversity facing a startup faire, we got in touch with the wonderful owners and team at Red Apple Farm, and the seed for our Enchanted Orchard was sown. Through this collaboration, Enchanted Orchard has grown into Massachusetts’ first agro-focused Renaissance Faire.
Enchanted Orchard Renaissance Faire centers on the agrarian society of the pre-modern period and the event seeks to promote the local and sustainable farming practices which shaped medieval life.
Enchanted Orchard is an inclusive and family friendly event, which welcomes all peoples. Enchanted Orchard is a space for anyone who enjoys history, fantasy and the magic of storytelling.
FAEGUILD WONDERS
OUR TEAM
Enchanted Orchard is blessed with an amazing team of cocreators and collaborators including the organizers, performers, vendors and venue. Without such incredible actors, musicians and craftspeople, Enchanted Orchard Renaissance Faire would not be possible. It is through the collective efforts of so many skilled artists that has opened the door into this mystical realm of wonder and delight.

Welcome to the Enchanted Orchard at Red Apple Farm in Phillipston, Massachusetts, a FaeGuild Wonders event, and a realm of myth and legend, where pirates roam, outlaws lurk in the forest, and vikings till the land in the north. Witches come down from the mountains to dance under the full moonlight and faeries wander between the wondrous orchard and unearthly worlds.
Four high nobles rule this enchanted realm, the Orchard King, the May Queen, the Duke of Thorns and the Blossom Baroness. Each hailed from an ancient house who farmed the land in days of yore and who had come together to create the majestic kingdom known today as the Enchanted Orchard. Every year, in celebration of spring and the planting season, the great families held a grand faire and Beltane Banquet, the most splendid in all the land, where merchants and farmers journeyed from far and wide to sell their wares at the market in Orchard Town.
Come see the marvels at Enchanted Orchard Renaissance Faire.
Planting seeds of wonder.
Enchantment grows here.
