Fancy playing the part of an armoured knight? Or maybe a courtly lady picking out the finest gemstone jewellery?

An upcoming renaissance fair, to be held at Fort Canning Park, will allow you to do just that.
The event, Ren Faire Sg: The Origin, will run from 2 to 9pm on Jan 31 and Feb 1.
A renaissance fair is an outdoor festival that recreates a historical period, typically that of the English and European Renaissance, sometimes imbued with fantasy elements. Themed performances, food and drink and a craft marketplace are its hallmarks, and patrons are encouraged to show up in costume.
Renaissance fairs are most popular in North America and Europe, where they have a long history of being held.
More recently, such fairs have found a market in Asia. Examples include Ren Faire PH in the Philippines and Dragon Dungeon Day in Taiwan.
The idea of hosting a renaissance fair in Singapore came to organiser Caylee Chua after she stumbled upon a TikTok clip of Ren Faire PH in 2024.
The 23-year-old was hooked on fantasy books as a child.
