King Richard’s Faire information 2024

Hey all,

I thought I’d write here to discuss this season of the King Richard’s Faire in Carver, MA. Not seeing any recent posts as of yet, even though it’s early (started weekend of Aug 31). I do enjoy helping others with deciding if they’d like to attend a place or event with some personal experience. Reddit is usually more helpful than Google in my opinion.

I understand there’s been countless bad things lately about the Faire, but there are others still attending.

Let’s start off with the pricing. IT’S CASH ONLY ADMISSION. It was foolish of me not to look into this further before I went this year. Not sure if it’s always been this way, apparently it is though. This also applies to food and drink as well.

To enter is going to be $46 dollars for adults and $26 for children under 12. That means if you don’t bring cash, you’re forking over $3.50 for an ATM fee on top of that. I posted a photo of one of the food menus for an example. Hopefully this can sort of help you decide what you’ll need for food and drink tickets.

Once in, you’ll find the food and drink ticket exchange booths. The food and drink ticket booths have approximately two locations on the grounds. Obviously they’re going to upsell you, so that’s why I mentioned prices of the food. Maybe get an idea of what you personally need for food and drink and then you can exchange for more tickets later if need be.

Alcohol was about $10-$16 depending on the drink. There are about 3 or 4 liquor/beer/wine tables and a few wine only tables throughout. There were a fair amount of choices between cocktails, beer and wine.

Otherwise, grab a schedule when you enter to see what the days happenings are. We caught the jousting competition and a few different juggling acts. We walked around the faire and went in all the different shops to see what they had to offer. It was a fun time.

Thank you for reading, hopefully more people can add to this as time goes on.
