Meet the Performers
Mistress Allyson of The Gilded Cauldron
Medieval Cook & Historical Interpreter
Step into the daily life of a medieval village at Mistress Allyson’s campfire.
Dressed in traditional clothing and working as a woman of the era would have, she cooks over an open fire preparing foods using authentic medieval methods. Throughout the day, she lives and works in her space: cooking, washing, sewing, and tending to simple crafts, offering a window into everyday life centuries ago.
A member of the Brotherhood of the Arrow and Sword and founder of The Gilded Cauldron, she has spent over 14 years bringing medieval history to life at Renaissance faires and educational events.
Visitors are invited to gather at her camp, ask questions, and learn:
What foods were available in medieval times
How cooking worked without modern ingredients or tools
What daily life looked like for a working woman of the era
She is also the author of The ReEnactor’s Cookbook, a well-loved medieval cookbook that has sold thousands of copies, and will be available for sale.
Hampden County Hexenbrut
A troupe of wandering witches bringing magic to life through movement and dance, with performances throughout the day. Their mission is simple: to spread peace, joy, and a little bit of magic wherever they go!
