Student Day Field Trips

Student Days are designed for students and teachers
Student Days are different than RenFest weekends.

Admission tickets purchased online will be a valid reserved entry.

Excess tickets will be available at the ticket booth for same day purchase until they are sold-out. 

When tickets sell-out online, they are also sold out in person. 

We highly recommend purchasing online before driving to the RenFest.

Admission and camping must be purchased in the same transaction. You cannot purchase camping without a valid admission ticket.

2026 RenFest Student Day (Field Trip)The Experience

Student Days are designed to bring history to life in ways a classroom can’t—like live jousting and free-flying falconry. Note that these weekday events follow standard school rules: no smoking, no alcohol, and no weapons (including souvenir swords) are allowed to be sold on Student Days.

 

Pricing per Student Day Admission

  • Tax-Exempt Schools: $15.00

  • With Tax & CC Fee:   $16.76 

  • Tax per ticket is $1.28

  • CC Fee is $0.49 per ticket

 

How to Register

  • Formal Schools & Non-Profits: Complete the online Order Form by October 31st. You will be invoiced after submission. This includes large homeschools like UVA.

  • Small Home Schools & Individuals: Tickets go on sale online after October 31st.

  • Chaperones & Extras: Anyone not included on the main school check can buy tickets online after October 31st or at the gate, until max capacity is reached.

  •  

Important Deadline

Non-Profit schools must complete the online order “form” by October 31st. After Oct 31st tickets may be purchased with sales tax. Admission tickets are first-come, first-served until we reach max capacity. Once sold out, no more tickets will be available, online or in-person at the booth.
