Important Announcement
We will not be presenting Ren in the Glen in 2026 in order to undertake a major erosion control project in the Glen.
We will return in 2027!
Flooding and erosion has been a problem at the far end of the Glen for years, and we have received a grant to address the issue this year.
Unfortunately, the project will take all summer to complete, preventing us from holding the faire this season.
See you in '27!

Trinket Trading
We love trinket trading at Ren in the Glen! However we do have some rules that we ask you to follow:
- Trinkets do not equal tips.
- Do not conduct trades inside or in front of shops.
- Ask permission from parents before trading with children.
- All trinkets must be PG13. This is a family friendly faire.
- No glass trinkets.
- No candy or other edible items.
- No items with the Ren in the Glen logo or name.
- No distribution of business cards or product samples.
- No selling of trinkets.
- No rocks, crystals or anything else similar to vendors' items for sale. This is unfair to our merchants.
- Do not hide or leave trinkets around the grounds. This is a hay farm. Your trinket could end up in the stomach of a horse, cow, goat, sheep, deer etc. and potentially cause illness or worse.
