It's the 1700s, with the Golden Age of Piracy approaching its peak, and King  George of England, seeing his own navy outmatched by these ambitious cutthroats, has  made a risky deal. Whomever swears loyalty to the crown of England may continue  their piracy as a “privateer.” Whilst this offer is compelling, the clemency it offers  comes with a steep price of strict rules, and requires payments to the royal crown. 

This season’s story focuses on Mary Read, a fearsome pirate in her own right.  When her husband passes, Mary disguises herself as a man to enter the royal Navy, then  later defects to piracy and begins a successful new… “career.” This Spring, we embark  on a moment in which time is running out for Mary, as the shadow of King George  looms ever closer. Will Mary Read give up her life of freedom and glory for a King’s  pay and a pretty collar? Or will she continue to risk her life on the high seas, knowing it  could end in a trip to the gallows? We shall see… 

Apart from the compelling interactive storyline, visitors to the faire  can enjoy spectacular performances by nationally-renowned acts such as TikTok  sensation Jacques Ze Whipper, delightful musical peasants Bardy Pardy, the ever popular and ever-bawdy vocal stylings of Chaste Treasure and the Righteous  Blackguards, Juggling Jester Paolo Garbanzo, and so much more! In addition to these  world-class performers, fairegoers can experience a village of eclectic artisans and  merchants, delicious food booths, more shady tented areas, and opportunities to explore  the vast “Village of Crossford” and its wide variety of offerings.
