The third annual Medieval Faire in Second Life opened back on May 19th and will run until June 18th.

The Faire is organised by the  Unmasking A Cure (UAC) Relay For Life Team and is part of the Relay For Life of Second Life fundraising efforts for the American Cancer Society.

The blurb for the event tells us :

Unmasking A Cure Relay For Life Team (#38) presents the Third Annual Medieval Faire, beginning May 19 – June 19, 2017. The faire, similar to a real world ‘Ren – Faire’, offers medieval tournaments in jousting, en garde, sword melee, magic, archery, and horse racing. There are over 50 merchants participating. They are supporting Relay For Life with items that will be sold for 100% profit to Relay. On the entertainment front a dozen live performers and many djs are all donating their time, talent and treasure to Relay For Life. Don’t miss this exciting month long event; try your hand at all the sports, find that perfect outfit or decor item, enjoy live musicians and dj sets!

The Medieval Faire is a more serene affair than many Second Life events and the fact that it runs for a month means you will have plenty of time to take a look around.

The Faire is split into two distinct areas, a village area and an activity area and both areas are very well designed.

The activities are interesting and include Archery, Jousting, Table Games, Sword Melee, Horse Racing and more.

To give you an idea about the events and activities on offer I will list the activities planned for the next two days (all times SLT).

The more mellow atmosphere at this faire gives you plenty of time to explore and take a look around, it’s not huge but there’s still plenty to see and do and the faire is well worth a visit.
