The north Folk Night Market Team
Red Apple Farm and FaeGuild Wonders presents our inaugural winter festival NorthFolk Night Market, to be held on February 22nd and 23rd, 2025. This is an inclusive and family friendly event, which welcomes everyone. The North Folk Night Market is a space for anyone who enjoys history, fantasy and the magic of storytelling.
Our Story
Our journey into Renaissance Faire creative and artistic directing began with Winchendon’s Parks & Recreation’s Wyndonshire Renaissance Faire, where we crafted the fantastical realm of Wyndonshire, along with its lore and the many characters that inhabit its landscape.
After assembling the creative team, FaeGuild Wonders, and overcoming the challenges of launching a new faire, we connected with the incredible owners and team at Red Apple Farm. This partnership planted the seeds for the Enchanted Orchard and the NorthFolk Night Market. Through this collaboration, Enchanted Orchard has flourished, becoming Massachusetts’ first agro-focused Renaissance Faire.
The Enchanted Orchard Renaissance Faire highlights the agrarian society of the pre-modern period, aiming to celebrate and promote the local and sustainable farming practices that were central to medieval life.
Our Team
Enchanted Orchard and North Folk Night Market are fortunate to have an incredible team of cocreators and collaborators, including organizers, performers, vendors, and the venue itself. These events would not be possible without the extraordinary talents of the actors, musicians, and craftspeople who bring the Enchanted Orchard Renaissance Faire and North Folk Night Market Winter Festival to life. It is through the collective efforts of these skilled artists that the doors to this mystical realm of wonder and delight have been opened.
Most importantly, none of this would be possible without the seamless partnership and generosity of our venue, Red Apple Farm. Special thanks go to the owners, Nancy and Al Rose, and their amazing "farmily" team for their unwavering support.
