If you have never been, this is really fun and different.

It's hijinks meets history with costumed characters, comedy, music, the Fairhaven Feast Hall and jousting knights. Do be sure to visit the Website for all the extensive details, including varying costs, special events, etc.
British roast beef wouldn’t be complete without Yorkshire pudding, which is like a cross between a popover and a soufflé and not at all like a pudding. It’s made with a batter of eggs, milk and flour, baked in beef drippings until puffy, crisp, and golden brown. It may be prepared in a shallow baking dish, muffin tins or other small containers, or in the same pan as the roast. This specialty takes its name from England’s northern county of Yorkshire.
