Hear ye, hear ye! The time is nearly upon us!
In just over a month, the gates of Knightshelm will open once again, and travelers from near and far will gather for three unforgettable days of adventure!

The kingdom is preparing.
The merchants are readying their wares.
The performers are practicing their tales.
The knights are preparing for battle.
And somewhere in the realm… a dragon is waiting.

From September 18–20, step through the gates and leave the ordinary world behind. Explore the village, meet characters from realms near and far, enjoy music and entertainment, discover incredible artisans, and become part of the story.

The countdown is on.

Abigail, the best mother we've ever met, had a baby two days ago! She is teaching her about life in the Deer Park where dozens of fawns are now frolicking. You can visit them Saturdays and Sundays in the drive-through. For more details about this experience, visit https://www.hollywild.org/drive-through-safari
