The best moments happen right between confusion and the “wait... I got it” moment.
The countdown is getting real.
Robin Hood’s Medieval Faire opens May 16 in Harwinton, CT, and we’re getting closer to another season of puzzles, clues, and treasure waiting to be found.
If you’ve never done X Treasure Hunt before, this is your sign.
One of the best parts of faire season in Connecticut?
Seeing everyone show up ready to play the part.
Pirates, knights, rogues, royalty — the costumes bring the whole world to life, and that energy is a huge part of what makes Robin Hood’s Medieval Faire so fun.
Did pirates really bury treasure? Not nearly as much as movies made us think.
Most pirates spent or traded what they took pretty fast. But the legend of hidden chests, coded maps, and one last clue stuck around for a reason.
Honestly... we support the legend.
