Featured, live-action shows include knights on horseback (who joust three times daily); presentations of the art of falconry; and live swimming mermaids.

An in-house performance company that features over 100 costumed characters that interact directly with visitors at the fair creates an authentic feel of the renaissance-era town.

In addition to 16 stages of rotating, scheduled entertainers, there are three premier attractions: The jousting knights on horseback; the falconry demonstration; and the "Sea Fairies" mermaid exhibit.

A variety of birds-of-prey are put on display highlighting their unique abilities and training that enraptured nobles long ago and made falconry the 'sport of kings.'

The festival vends an assortment of medieval themed foods, including: giant turkey legs, savory soups, stews, and chowders (served in "bread bowls"), "Steak on a Stake", fish and chips, corn on the cob, and Scotch eggs.

The site also features games such as archery target-shooting, crossbow shooting, axe throwing, frog catapults, and a gold coin hunt.
