Scarborough is Gearing Up For Their Second Weekend of This Season

They opened up last weekend with a lot of great adventure to be had. This weekend, they will showcase their artisans. These talented folks make their living by creating unique designs to be sold at fairs and festivals all year long. We picked up several things with them last year, including my husbands favorite cup. This was by Wondrous Works in Wood. We were hoping to get me one this year. For his, he also got the added lid and belt loop so he can carry it around with him.

They are also having an Easter celebration! Plenty of fun for all to be had. 

What does the Artisan Showcase mean? 

Besides giving you a fun way to shop, if you get $350 or more in receipts (not including food), you can then get 2 tickets to return to their fair on another day! Originally, we had hoped to do that last year since this was the weekend we had gone. However, things didn't line up that way and I gave my tickets to a friend to use. 

In addition to that, you can vote for your favorite artisans and be entered towards winning a gift basket filled with artisan goodies! You can do that at this link here: https://www.srfestival.com/artisans-weekend/

Here is where you can read the information I get from their Director of Marketing & Communications, Helaine Thompson. 

This weekend only, you can shop ‘til you drop and get two free 2022 single day tickets to Scarborough Renaissance Festival® valid any day of the 2022 Festival season when you bring $350 worth of receipts (for items purchased this weekend only) from the Festival shoppes to the redemption tents outside the main gates between 12:00 noon and 8:00 pm each day.

Plus, now through April 19th patrons can participate in Scarborough’s virtual best in show contest at www.srfestival.com/artisans-weekend where they can vote for their favorite Artisan/Shoppe and have the chance to win a basket filled with treasures from the Scarborough Artisans. 

Guest Artisans this weekend are Bird Marie’s Pottery and Spirit Song Ocarinas. Make sure to check out the seventeen new 2022 Artisans as well!

Scarborough Renaissance Festival® is proud to host one of the largest outdoor juried craft shows in the country with some of the most unique handmade treasures and works of art found anywhere in North Texas. In the hundreds of Festival shoppes you will discover handblown glass and pottery, hand dipped candles, soaps, and bath products, along with hats, leather goods, apparel, footwear and even fairy wings. There’s jewelry, bronze and stone sculptures, and hand forged cutlery, knives, and swords; as well as wooden mugs, boxes and carvings, home goods (or as they call it castle adornments), games and toys, and so much more!

Throughout each Festival day, you can also experience many of the Artisans demonstrating age-old crafts such as glass blowing, leatherworks, candle carving, glass sculpting, metalworks, hammock weaving, stone carving, jewelry making, and woodworking just to name a few.

April 16th & 17th there will be special Easter celebrations as well. All weekend, children can participate in the Easter Scavenger Hunt throughout the Festival to win a free Ice Cream cup. Scavenger Hunt maps will be available at the Exit Gate. On Easter Sunday, April 17th, visitors can participate in the beautiful Renaissance Easter service at 12:00 noon at the Crown Meadow Stage. 
 
Another important announcement would be the following: 
This weekend’s limited engagement performers are The Accidental Acrobats, Emrys Fleet’s the Big Rat Show, and Zilch the Tory Steller. The full schedule of non-stop entertainment and list of shoppes can be found at www.SRFestival.com.
