Adventure is not something they watch here.

It is something they live.

From archery to swordplay to defending Sherwood Keep, every camper becomes part of the story.

Do not wait. Spots are filling.

Sherwoodians! A quick heads up for this weekend as we move into wrap up mode.

If you need assistance while on site, or if you are storing your RV on site and need to get your printed RV tag, call the Campground Guard Shack at 979 575 3497.

For cleanup, there is an extra large dumpster near the entrance available for disposal of larger metal items. DO NOT put mattresses or sofas into the dumpsters.

This weekend, May 2 to 3, will be our final move out weekend. The campground will be open 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM for day trips only for Friends of Faire to come and move out. No overnight stays during that time.

Please plan your day accordingly and do not remain on site after 6:00 PM. The grounds will be closing promptly each evening.

Thank you all for helping us wrap the season smoothly.

At Sherwood Forest Faire, the fights you see are not just spectacle. They are built on real training.

Behind every clash of steel is an actor who has spent hours learning timing, control, and storytelling through combat. That training comes from Capital Combat.

More of our cast trains in stage combat than at any other festival. It is part of what makes Sherwood feel real. The movement, the precision, the moments that make you lean in instead of just watch.

If you have ever watched a fight at Sherwood and thought, I want to do that, this is where it starts.

Capital Combat 2026 is your chance to train with the same instructors and techniques that shape the performances you love.

June 6th and 7th in San Marcos, Texas.

Step out of the crowd and into the show.

Sherwoodians!

Thank you.

For every cheer, every song sung, every toast raised, and every moment you chose to spend with us, you made the 1194 season something truly special. You brought the magic to life in a way only our patrons can.

Because of you, Sherwood is more than a faire. It is a place where stories are lived, friendships are forged, and memories are carried long after the gates close.

We are grateful for each and every one of you.

Rest well, travel safe, and we will see you again when the gates reopen for the 1195 season.

They are the first to arrive and the last to leave.

Through early mornings, long nights, dust, rain, and everything in between, our Ops Team keeps Sherwood Forest Faire running day in and day out. From keeping the grounds ready to supporting every show, shop, and moment of magic, they are the steady hands behind it all.

This season does not happen without them.

If you see a member of Ops today, give them a nod, a wave, or a thank you. They have more than earned it.
