Pub Crawl – on sale June 15, 2023
The Pub Crawl sells out quickly and does not include admission to The Bristol Renaissance Faire. You will need an admission ticket and a Pub Crawl ticket if you wish to drink with us.
Play the best beer game this side of 1599 at Bristol’s legendary Pub Crawl. Join the loud and lusty pub crawl crew, and skip long lines as they personally amuse you along the village streets to several fine taverns and public houses. Try not to spill as you jiggle with merriment at the most bodacious songs, jests, jokes, stories, and riddles the shire has to offer.
Travel with your own bartender, for immediate service, and choose from more than 14 beers on tap or a delicious mead as you go. We also offer gluten-free cider. FOUR alcoholic drinks are included in the Pub Crawl – one at each pub. Just $65 per ticket, the Pub Crawl runs four times each Saturday: 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 1:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m., and three times each Sunday: 12:00 p.m., 1:30, and 2:30 p.m. Half of the tickets for each crawl are available online, and half are available for purchase on the day of the crawl (at Guest Services) on a first-come basis.
Pub Crawl tickets purchased online must be redeemed at Guest Services between 10 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. to receive your wristband. You MUST check-in at least 30 minutes before your scheduled Pub Crawl to receive your wristband. No wristband means no Pub Crawl. If you are late, you will not receive all 4 drinks. No refunds.
You may only Crawl once per day!

Faire Reviews
Most excellent hilarity and general merriment was had by all. I highly recommend the Pub Crawl! – Lynette P
I wanted to offer my biggest, most heartfelt thank you to the Bristol Staff for a truly magical weekend. My friends and I were very impressed with the genuine talent of each and every actor and performance. I also wanted to extend a personal thank you to Uncle Jack, who was welcoming and loving to my friends and me. His extra attention and care made him fun to talk to, and my friends and I found ourselves seeking him out throughout the day to have conversations with him again. Love you, Uncle Jack! We look forward to joining you in the Pub Crawl soon. An additional thank you/apology to the handsome gentleman portraying William Shakespeare. We loved your genuineness and authenticity, (as well as your patience with the cherry thief, and I am only slightly apologetic but very thankful for the wonderful laughs and memories that followed).
For someone who has never been to a Renaissance Faire before, I have been delighted and enthused with my trip to Bristol. I wish I could write more expressing my happiness because of my trip. Please know that you all are the reason people believe in magic, and the joy you have bringing imagination to life is outstanding. Please keep up the amazing work! I will be visiting again. With love, Emma
