Visit a recreated 16th-century British village over eight themed weekends during Oct. - Nov. Drive 45 minutes north of Houston and discover 53 acres of a magical medieval kingdom. Rub elbows with King Henry's royal court along with peasants, harlequin jesters, minstrels, and armored knights. Visit each weekend as a different European country pays homage to Queen Katherine's birthday. There will be jousting, juggling, human-powered rides and games, a Grand Parade and fireworks to end the day. Enjoy a bountiful feast of succulent turkey legs, sweet mead wine, roasted corn, bratwurst and dishes from all over the world. Admission fee.
