It is said that archery dates back to the Ancient Stone Era, where hunters and warriors wielded the bow for its specific purpose. Over time, the skill rose to prominence during the Medieval Age.
Longbows were popularly used during this period as they could easily pierce a soldierโ€™s armor from a range of 250 yards (231 m). Archers became an indispensable part of every army for it allowed forces to remain at a safe distance while their arrows shattered enemy formations and inflict heavy casualties.
It became very beneficial that a law was passed on 1252, mandating all men aged 15 to 60 to undergo archery training. This initiative not only served as physical conditioning but also played a crucial role in defending English troops during conflicts.
For those interested in learning the basics of archery, a stall awaits you at the faire. Moreover, do not let the opportunity slip by, as Archery Performances will be presented during the event.

We have heard your eagerness regarding our Day One theme. We offer this post in hopes that it may give discernment and enlightenment to the weary minds of our travelers.
As we all know, the Philippines is home to different ethnolinguistic groups with their own distinctive clothing traditions. While we actively encourage the celebration of the diversity of Filipino culture, a single guideline that sufficiently covers the scope of these cultural nuances is, at the moment, beyond our purview.
Thus, if it be your desire to adhere to our theme but are unsure where to begin, the Queen offers this gentle guidance: Embark on an intimate journey to seek the wise elders of your family on the rich, storied history of your ancestry. In time, said stories shall be yours to share with the people across the realm.
The path may be yours to undertake but know it will unveil the answers to the questions you seek. May the light of the past illuminate your path forward.
Ultimately, would it not be nice to have a glimpse of what the 15th century Philippines would look like through the garments we wear? That being said, while we encourage dressing according to our daily themes, it is merely a suggestion, and your comfort at the faire should be included in your priority when choosing your garb.

RFPH 2025 Day 1 Theme: Pre-colonial Philippines

We are starting Day 1 ofย #RenFairePH2025ย with a theme that is worth revisiting and relearning: the pre-colonial Philippines!

Why is Pre-colonial Philippines our Day 1 theme?
At Ren Faire PH, we encourage our dear adventurers to immerse themselves in the history attached to the Renaissance faires as we believe that these faires are heavily inspired by historical re-enactment and performances of the past.

With that being said, we should also connect and educate our audience about our own culture and history. Allow us to reconnect to who we are, relearn our own stories, and reveal our beautiful history to the world.

You may check out our 2024 posts for outfit suggestions for this theme!:ย https://bit.ly/RFPHOutfit

This is a kind reminder to everyone to do extensive research on the Pre-colonial Philippines to be able to respect its cultural nuance fully. Here is a link to the Boxer codex illustrations to start:ย https://bit.ly/Boxercodexillustrations

Make sure that your chosen clothing will suit your comfort. Do not force yourself to wear something very limited in movement. We would love to see you roaming around comfortably!

Already have your garb for the faire? Tag us using the hashtagย #RenFairePH25Outfitย and we will feature your outfits!

See you at the faire, dear adventurers!
