Student Days

We have a special weekday performance of Scarborough Renaissance Festival for public, private, and home schools called Student Days.

Student days will be on May 1, 2012. We will begin taking reservations in September.

Students are invited to enter the realm of England's legendary King Henry VIII and experience the intellectual, cultural, and artistic splendor of the Renaissance first hand. Classes will experience a full day of demonstrations, shows, and educational interactions.

The Royal Court and villagers welcome, and in fact relish, discussions about daily life in the Renaissance. Our downloadable curriculum guide is full of information, exercises, and studies about the Renaissance that will enrich the educational experience, including activity modules in Math, Science and Poetry.

Ticket Cost

Admission is only $7.25 per student and one chaperone is admitted free for every 7 student tickets purchased. Additional chaperones may purchase tickets in advance for only $10.00. If purchased at the gate, these tickets will cost $12.00.

Student Days are open to school groups only and not to the general public.

Drama Competition

The 2012 Drama Competition is now closed as we have five participants. Please try again next year!

We are proud to present our annual Drama competition. 2012's play is Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar. Schools may choose from several scenes, each with a different requirement for the number of actors. Five schools will be scheduled to compete each day at the Crown Stage, the Festival's largest stage. Festival staff, professional educators, actors and directors will judge the competition. Trophies will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th as well as Honorable Mention and a pair of complimentary Scarborough Renaissance Festival tickets will given to all participants.

Reservations

The entire Festival site is open for Student Days, so there should be plenty of room for all. Even so, it is best to make your reservation as early as possible so that we have a better idea of the number of Students and Teachers who are coming on each day, in order to provide the best experience possible for our guests. A minimum group size of 10 is required for advanced reservations.  Groups of less than 10 may purchase their tickets at the gate on the day of the event.

Reservations also allow us to send you the Curriculum Guide and Teacher Information. Everything that you will need to schedule your visit is included on the Reservation Form.
