FREMONT, NH – The New Hampshire Renaissance Faire returns this spring for its 14th year and it is looking for support.

Anyone looking to volunteer must be over 18, with exceptions granted in some circumstances with a legal guardian. No experience is needed in most areas, training is provided. Some roles require background checks. People who can help for a full day are preferred, but alternate shifts may be arranged.
The deadlines for volunteer opportunities is April 18 and May 5 (position dependent).
Each year, the festival attracts thousands of visitors for a wide array of educational and enjoyable activities ranging from historical armored combat re-enactments and jousting to medieval handcrafting and more.
Operated by Three Maples Renaissance Corp., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, all profits are donated to charity, with this year’s charities including the New Hampshire Food Bank and Rockingham County Meals on Wheels.
