Every year we re-imagine history with our own unique version of a 16th century European village that welcomes everyone to be a part of the memories we are making in the lanes. We break down all the traditional barriers that come with stage productions to create an immersive experience for our patrons where 4th walls don’t exist and talking with the characters is the biggest part of the fun.
There is a place for you in Fairhaven! We know you will find an area that fits your interests.
