About Us
Wyldwood RenFest is a celebration of history, folklore, and imagination, set in the stunning Kirkleatham Showground.
Our festival brings together the magic of medieval traditions, immersive experiences, and a vibrant community, offering an unforgettable journey into a world of fantasy and adventure.
About Us
Wyldwood was created by a team of passionate and experienced Re-enactors and LARPers, driven by a love for history, mythology, and immersive storytelling. With years of expertise in organizing dynamic events, we bring professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail to every aspect of the festival.
We are proud to be working in partnership with Redcar and Cleveland Council to bring Wyldwood Renaissance Festival to life. Their support has been instrumental in facilitating this exciting event, and we are equally thrilled to announce our collaboration with the Tees Valley Combined Authority as we continue to develop and expand. Together, we are creating an unforgettable experience for the community and beyond.
Backed by our sponsors and supported by extensive connections with Re-enactment groups and LARP systems across the UK, we aim to breathe life into the legends of Arthurian Britain and lost medieval traditions. Our mission is to craft a magical, family-friendly experience that bridges the gap between the past and the fantastical.
Among our founders is a craftsman whose talents have graced major productions, including working directly with Warner Brothers on Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, where they handcrafted iconic costumes. This level of expertise ensures that Wyldwood RenFest combines Hollywood-quality craftsmanship with the authenticity and vibrancy of the Re-enactment and LARP communities.
At Wyldwood RenFest, we strive to create a festival like no other—where history and legend intertwine, and every visitor, sponsor, and merchant is part of a living, breathing story. Come join us as we bring history and fantasy to life in an unforgettable celebration of culture, creativity, and community!
