About the event

Virago Alley, the non-profit behind The Richmond Renfaire, brings history to life on the stunning grounds of Agecroft Hall & Gardens. Warriors in Bloom is a celebration of bold figures who dared to defy conventions, changing history in the process. Virago Alley seeks to reclaim the word “virago”—once used to scorn women of strength—to invite others to feel empowered in spite of the expectations that society has placed on them. This event is not just a tribute, but a declaration of identity to honor viragos past and inspire those yet to come. This immersive event spotlights legendary figures such as Joan of Arc, Tomyris, Rani Durgavati, and Grace O'Malley, through a mix of performances, lectures, storytelling, crafting activities, and an open-air artisan market. Enjoy local vendors, historically inspired fare, and a variety of family-friendly activities in a setting that perfectly blends past and present. Warriors in Bloom is presented by Virago Alley in partnership with Agecroft Hall & Gardens. Rain Date: August 3, 2025 from 12-5 pm.
