About The Faire
Canterbury Renaissance Faire is an invitation to participate in an imaginative interactive environment modeled on elements from a plausible Summer Market Faire from the era of “Good Queen Bess” (Elizabeth I, 1558-1603). We see it create an interactive stage where faire goers can experience the sights and sounds, science, entertainments, crafts and life styles of Elizabethan Village Folk celebrating the best of their village life.

Meet Our Team
Nancy White
Canterbury Faire Owner, Host, Promoter & Organizer
Nancy is a professional horse trainer of hunters and jumpers. She started producing events by doing horse shows. With her sisters and children, she later produced haunted events at Whitewind Farm. After visiting several Renaissance Faires, she was interested in hosting one at her Whitewind Farm in Silverton, OR. “The area has nothing like this show. It is unique to the general public. Canterbury Faire is fun and educational. It gives the participants and visitors alike a chance to experience the Elizabethan era. The jousting show is a spectacle that most people never get to see. “For me, the hope is that as you enter the faire site, you will feel that you have transported in time to another era. That is the challenge. I have a great staff! Without them and the many volunteers, I could not produce this wonderful renaissance faire.”
