Garb

Complete garb is required to be a villager and needs to be something you acquire yourself. You must follow these clothing guidelines while in the village at the New York Renaissance faire or while officially representing the group at another event. There are links to shopping and to making your own on the Viking Garb page. New members will need to have their outfit approved by our Authenticity Officer.

Clothing

Woven Linen or Wool period appropriate clothing; such as pants and tunic or underdress and apron dress.  Or another combination that is appropriate for the location as well as historically plausible.  

Shoes

Turnshoes with appropriate sole for your safety.  Growing children can use a basic moccasin style shoe, please speak to other village parents for guidance. 

Accessories

Accessories should be period appropriate and be plausible if not replicas of historical finds. For example belts must be thin leather with a basic or historical buckle or they can be tablet woven.  

Color Palette

Colors worn must fall into the plausible category for the age; very little black, nothing neon, or other modern colors.  The Weaving Department can assist if you have fabric or garments in mind.

In order to camp on site you must provide your own tent! As a volunteer social group we have no ability to provide tents for members.

  • Follow all Faire Management campground rules and requirements
  • Nylon tent camping requires a brown or green tarp
  • Historical tents must be a Viking A frame that is safe, properly built, and no obvious anachronisms
  • While we prefer to have historical tents open and on display we realize that requires a large investment
