Renaissance faires are held in beautiful places with terrible signal, and that's half the charm. Realm is a patron's companion built for exactly that: an illustrated map of the whole village, the day's shows with reminders that fire without a single bar, and a pouch to remember the wares worth returning for.
There is no feed and no login. Realm is five patron tools that work the moment you pass the gate.
Original hand-illustrated village maps, not satellite tiles, with every shoppe, tavern, stage, and privy pinned as faithfully as we can chart them from the information each faire makes available. The maps are in beta and still simple, and they'll keep improving through 2027. Filter by what you need, search the directory, and fly straight to a booth. Pinch, pan, and zoom like a proper chart.
The faire's welcome and this season's dates in one scroll. Faires that work with us can post proclamations of the day (fireworks nights, gate times) instead of scattering them across three social feeds.
Every act the faire has posted, on every stage, in order. We carry what the faire publishes: a weekend's lineup appears once the faire posts it, usually mid-week, and a last-minute change the faire doesn't post won't show in the app. Tap the bell on a show and your phone nudges you 15 or 30 minutes before curtain. The reminder is scheduled on the device itself, so it fires even in a dead zone.
That mug you almost bought at the shoppe whose name you've forgotten, in the lane you can't find again? Save wares and shops to your pouch as you wander. It lives entirely on your phone, with no account and no cloud copy. Nobody's business but thine.
The faire-wide search for who sells what. Type the ware itself, "bodice", "dice", "mead", and every merchant that carries it appears, synonyms understood. Tap a shop and the map flies straight to its booth with the card open. When a vendor has filled out their own profile, their card carries their story, wares, website, and social links as well. Performers appear here too while their act is on the schedule. Cards fill in only when a vendor or entertainer signs up, so some are still bare. Let your favorites know about us!
A Charted Faire is one we've mapped end to end: original artwork, every booth pinned, the real schedule seeded. We chart more every season, and the directory map covers nearly 600 US faires with dates and websites, so yours is findable even before it's charted. Tap notify me on your faire and you vote for it.
Every faire's Herald, landmark map, and posted schedule are free. A season pass costs $3.99, once per faire, per season, and unlocks the full map with every charted booth, directory search and fly-to-booth, stage reminders, the season's schedule archive, the pouch, Merchant's Row (a faire-wide search for who sells what), faire-day weather in the Herald, and a mark-thy-carriage note for the parking fields. It also removes the free tier's vendor promo banner, and a season you have bought stays yours to revisit after the faire closes. Visiting more than one faire this year? The Sovereign's Pass unlocks every Charted Faire for $14.99 a year, a founding price through December 2026 that rises to $25 in January. The demo faire is always free to wander.
