Special Events

Join our Pygmy Goat friends from DK Farms for a flight of fine wine! Admission to The Goat Tavern  gives you a wine sampler flight and access to the cutest Pygmy Goats and Pigs in all the land! The Goat Tavern is available from Open to Close, and is a seperate ticketed event. Tickets can only be purchased at The Goat Tavern.

Raise a tankard and join Shakespeare’s own acting company for an hour of laughter, mischief, and fine ale. This separate ticket event takes you on a lively tour of the faire’s main pubs, where you’ll enjoy three refreshing beers and plenty of theatrical antics along the way. The crawl departs from The Boar’s Head Inn at 1:00 PM, and tickets sell out fast. Don’t delay—secure your spot before they’re gone!

Each themed weekend features a new keg hunt devised by Heyford’s ingenious and slightly sadistic barmaids. Stop by one our main three bars and pick up a punch card that will send you on a quest to try different drinks. Each Keg Hunt carries its own special prize for completion. 21+ ONLY!

Wealth, fame, power. Every pirate sets sail in search of the ultimate prize. Now, it’s your turn to embark on a grand adventure through the shire, hunting for the one piece of treasure hidden in Heyford. This free treasure hunt will test your cunning and skill. Seek out four ancient tablets, gather evidence, and solve riddles that will lead you to the one piece of treasure. 

Learn to make wine the olde fashioned way! Grape Stomping is the traditional practice of crushing grapes and extracting juices to begin fermentation. Worry not, you won’t have to drink the foot wine until it ages a few years (except for Quentin Blackquill, who says he likes it fresh).
