Nottingham Festival

The Nottingham Festival is a Renaissance faire and marketplace held at Civic Center Park in Simi Valley, California. The event recreates an English village of the Elizabethan era, with costumed performers portraying figures such as Queen Elizabeth I, William Shakespeare, and Robin of Nottingham. Entertainment includes live period music and stage shows performed throughout the grounds, along with street performers mingling among visitors. Merchants, artisans, and food vendors fill out the village setting, giving the faire the character of a working Elizabethan marketplace.
