There is a past coming up in your future. On Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29 from 10AM to 6PM you will be able to step into the past. The year will be 1575 and you will be entering the annual fayre in the town of Bridgewater, a port in the southwest region of England. The time machine awaits you at the corner of Fair Oaks and Madison.

There will be jesters juggling, madrigals singing, dancers dancing, players playing and acrobats tumbling. Be Ye strong of limb and short of wits. There will be fine maidens, fine food and fine sport.

Many merchants that you cannot find elsewhere will be presenting their wares.

According to current myth “Bridgewater was a thriving town in Devonshire, where you’d meet merchants peddling their wares, travelers from afar, craftsmen plying their trades, clergy, nobles, sailors, peasants, jugglers and minstrels.”

But, then, all you really need to know is to greet people with a “Good marrow!” or perhaps a “God ye good den,” and you will receive a “Well met!” and a hearty handshake.
