About
Help us prepare for the 2026 Richmond Renfaire! Virago Alley is excited to bring this annual multi-day festival to the Richmond community.
The Richmond Renfaire brings awareness to underrepresented historical art forms including the skilled craftsmen who work in these traditional mediums and trades. This project aims to be different from any renfaire in the country not only because we plan to embrace local arts, culture, and historical non profit groups through brand new collaborations crafted specifically for this project, but by making this a true multi-cultural celebration of historical artisans from around the globe.
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.
