The Wyldwood community is growing faster than we ever imagined, and today we want to pause and celebrate together. Thanks to you, our wonderful friends, supporters, and followers, we’ve reached over 2,000 followers on Facebook, 500 on TikTok, and are now on the cusp of 500 on Instagram. 🌿✨
For a festival that hasn’t yet opened its gates, this means the world to us. Each like, share, comment, and follow is a spark that helps bring Wyldwood RenFest to life. It shows us that the dream of creating the UK’s first full-scale Renaissance Festival resonates with people across the country (and beyond!).
A Gift for You – Free Wyldwood Backgrounds
As a token of our gratitude, we’ve designed something special: a collection of exclusive Wyldwood Renaissance Festival backgrounds, available for both desktop and mobile. Whether you want a touch of Wyldwood’s magic on your phone or to brighten your computer screen, these designs are yours to enjoy – completely free.
Carry Wyldwood with you every day until May 2026, when we finally gather at Kirkleatham Showground for the festival itself.
A Heartfelt Thank You
This milestone isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the people behind them. So, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who has made this journey possible so far.
✨ Our Sponsors and Partners – We are incredibly grateful to the brilliant businesses and organisations supporting Wyldwood RenFest.
Nidhoggr Mead Co. – bringing the spirit (and taste!) of mead to Wyldwood.
Pagans of the North – celebrating heritage, community, and culture alongside us.
Nimbus Disability – ensuring accessibility and inclusion are at the heart of our festival.
Your belief in us helps us build stronger foundations and dream even bigger.
✨ Our Mentors and Advisors – We are honoured to have had the guidance and insight of many wonderful festivals and organisations who have shared their knowledge and encouragement with us. From the team at Fantasy Forest Festival, to the incredible people behind Beyond Ragnarok, LarpCon, Empire, and others – thank you for taking the time to support and advise us as we shape Wyldwood into something truly magical.
✨ Our Volunteers and Crew – From helping us film our first trailer to sharing their skills in set-up, decoration, and planning, our volunteers have already gone above and beyond. Wyldwood is a community effort, and you are its heart.
✨ Our Growing Community – That means you. Everyone who follows, comments, shares a post, tells a friend, or simply cheers us on – you’re part of this story. We set out to build more than a festival; we wanted to build a community. Seeing it take root before the gates even open is something we will treasure forever.
Looking Ahead
This is just the beginning. We have so much more to share with you in the months leading up to May 2026 – from behind-the-scenes updates to sneak peeks at attractions, traders, performers, and community projects. Each milestone we celebrate together takes us one step closer to walking the lanes of Wyldwood in person.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for joining us on this adventure. Let’s continue to grow, dream, and celebrate together.
Here’s to the next milestone – and to the magic we’ll all create when Wyldwood RenFest finally opens its gates. 🌿✨
love this so much!
so happy to be apart of the Wyldwood community!
