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!
