It’s hard to believe that it is already the middle of July and that we have already spent one weekend in 1574 Bristol, England.  The Bristol Renaissance Faire , one of the three fairs part of Renaissance Entertainment Productions, is located right on the border of Wisconsin and Illinois.

It is also where your favorite Trayn’d Bandes finds it’s home for the summer.

Bristol is such a wonderful and magical place, and we get to play alongside some of the most talented performers in the world.   It is truly something to behold.   This past weekend, we opened the gates and greeted people from all walks of life, who come to Bristol and allow themselves to be transported back into time and escape for a day.    Bristol received their guests with so many new sights and sounds, that it’s hard to describe it all!  I’ll let the pictures do some of the work for me.

It’s so incredibly beautiful isn’t it!?!  And these are just a small amount of  the amazing moments that our wonderful photographer friends captured.    As someone who loves to capture moments through pictures, I felt that these gave a really clear picture of how wonderful and perfect our first weekend was.   I cannot wait to see what is captured in the weeks to come.


Thanks to the photographers for these amazing pictures – Wayne Hile, Bryon Partis Landerman, Chuck Bennorth, Denise Beidler Bennorth and Patty Smith.
