A new Master of Revels has been appointed just in time for the largest festival The Shire of Mount Hope has seen yet! The people of the Shire have come out in droves to kick off Her Majesty's Royal Birthday Celebration, and the Queen has brought those courtiers most dear to her heart. Gifts abound, but so do surprises!
A friendly challenge has been agreed to between Her Majesty and a special guest. This frivolous bit of sport meant to honor the Queen's natal day takes on new consequences that could impact every citizen of England, including The Queen herself.
After the shocking conclusion of the Tournament of Arms, the people of Mount Hope and all of England await the Ultimate Joust. When it is over, who will remain standing? Will Justice prevail? Will trickery win out the day? Is there yet one more birthday surprise awaiting Queen Elizabeth? The love of the people may very well determine the victor.
Just because the day is drawing to a close doesn't mean the Queen's natal day festivities are over! Join Her Majesty, The Court, the villagers of Mount Hope, and the musicians of the Shire in a raucous final celebration!
Everyone knows there's no fighting at the Boar's Head Inn, and the Inn's owner "Old Gibbs" is sure to hold everyone to that! But where is Old Gibbs today? Why have ten seemingly random members of both the court and the shire been summoned to the Inn this afternoon? The only thing we know for certain is that hijinks are bound to ensue when the stakes are this high! Come along to see this hilarious, fast-paced, stunt and combat who-dunnit. Can you figure it out first?
Mt Hope is honored to once again host the EWW Tag-Team Championship match. Witness lifts, pins, and power moves as caped combatants enter the ring and grapple for the title of English Wrestling World champion!
Whose Jest has been described in several ways: a laugh riot, a goofy mess, on the spot shenanigans. Come and find out how you would describe this improv show featuring some of the shire's liveliest characters. If you get there fast enough, they might even take your suggestion.
That pesky thieves guild has been up to their old tricks again, and our Master of Revels intends to teach them all a valuable lesson. However, with the Master of Revels involved you can rest assured that this will be no ordinary trial! Two things are certain: justice shall be served, and someone will be dunked!
Drinkers and carousers the likes of which you've never seen before! Anywhere the Rakish Rogues meet, as sure as a guitar will be produced, a rowdy time is sure to follow. They are a true musical Bromance for the ages!
Whether you're an inn keeper, a guild leader, or the Royal Spymaster, being in charge all day is hard! Sometimes you just need to kick back with your girls, put down a few drinks, and sing some raucous songs! Join the Sirens in letting your hair down and letting your irresponsible side out for a little while!
What happens when the care-free and the overly responsible meet? The Rogues and Sirens will find out as they join forces for a combined pub show full of music and mischief! Will the Rogues clean up their act? Will the Sirens fully cut loose? Will the Hart Inn still be standing at the end? Sing along and find out!
Lady Elizabeth Fitzgerald hasn't stepped foot on the soil of Ireland since she was a wee lass, and some of the other Celtic citizens of Mount Hope want to help her feel at home and lift her spirits with the music of their people! Join them as they fill the shire with the sounds of Ireland, Wales, and Scotland! It will be Celtic fun for the whole family!
Queen Elizabeth loves music! Her best friend, Lady Elizabeth Fitzgerald and the Celtic Revels have teamed up with Mount Hope's Revels Guild to put together a musical birthday spectacular for Her Majesty!

Bloody Shakespeare is back with Shakespeare's most violent work: Titus Andronicus. This comedic retelling will include over the top blood effects, gore, and other gross bodily functions. It may not be for the squeamish, but you can trust that it'll be a bloody good time!
It's them, hi, they're the problem it's them. And everybody agrees! They are fierce, funny, and forming an opinion. Join three of the shires most salacious individuals as they spill the tea on any and everything. No one is safe and no topic off limits.
It's the Queen's Birthday, so it's important that everyone be well versed in the proper ways of cutting a rug Renaissance-style! Join the shire's Dance Mistress and a rather shifty artist as they teach you the ways of folk dancing across 3 songs.
Even on a festive day, the Queen is always searching for nipperkins willing to join her royal cavalry! A member of her Majesty's court has recruited the shire Game Master to prepare some games to test your children's aptitude, and if they succeed, they will be sworn in as members of the Queen's Cavalry!
In order to properly entertain all of Mount Hope's guests, the Master of Revels has seen that members of the Shire prepare entertainments fit for the whole family! Enjoy interactive storytelling perfect for anyone young, young at heart, or just tired and needing a place to sit and be entertained for a while! This year's Trunk Shows are: "St. George and the Dragon", "Dr. Faustus", and "Pyramus and Thisbee"!
